From her earliest memory, when asked in kindergarten what she wanted to do with her life, Meg Homeier’s answer was clear: “I am going to be an artist.” That conviction has guided her ever since.
Today, Meg is known for her experimental mixed-media paintings that blend alcohol inks and acrylics into luminous, abstract compositions often reminiscent of landscapes. For the past decade, alcohol inks have been her primary medium, prized for their fluidity, unpredictability, and shimmering effects. In her work, she explores themes of pattern, layering, and light, creating surfaces that shift as they catch the eye. Meg describes her paintings as peaceful and contemplative—inviting viewers to step into imaginative, evolving “scapes” and discover their own reflections within them.
Meg’s creative journey has been shaped by both formal training and practical experience. After earning a Liberal Arts degree from Columbia College in Chicago, she launched a decorative painting business that flourished for more than 30 years. Meg was challenged and delighted to enhance her outreach and room for creativity by opening her large studio in an historic manufacturing building. During the decorative arts renaissance of the 1990s, she built a reputation for combining traditional techniques with inventive underpaintings and unexpected textures—hallmarks that still influence her work today. Her projects spanned commercial and residential commissions across the Chicago area, and her paintings have been exhibited in numerous shows and galleries.
In 2021, Meg and her husband, Jeff, relocated full-time to South Carolina, where she continues to expand her artistic practice. Beyond painting, she finds joy in gardening, cooking, and restoring homes—creative outlets that echo her lifelong spirit of experimentation. She also shares her passion through teaching workshops, where participants are encouraged to collaborate with the “fluid and persnickety” nature of alcohol inks. One of her most memorable experiences was guiding a group of ten people in creating an eight-foot-long collaborative piece, a process she describes as both challenging and deeply rewarding.
For Meg, art is not only a personal calling but also a way of building connection— between mediums, between people, and between the inner and outer landscapes we all navigate.
Come experience the variety and richness of Meg’s mixed media at the reception at the Lakehouse on Monday, October 6, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm
