Meredith Blackmore is a painter and performance artist. Her most noteworthy art training came from a teenage summer job as a portrait artist at Canada’s Wonderland. Her favourite colour is brown. She has won several awards in live-painting for being fast and furious.

As a child, she trained really hard as a dancer and now everything is a little bit about dance. Sometimes, it is actually dance. Meredith lives in Guelph and teaches workshops at Studiohere, a workspace she founded in 2014 as a creative home for all ages. Her students, fellow instructors, and community of vibrant artists are a fountain of creative fuel.

She believes that the impulse to create is what makes an artist an artist.
