Meredith Fife Day is a lifelong devotee of the visual arts and learning. She has also written professionally. Her art reviews and essays have appeared in a variety of publications for more than 25 years and she chronicles her days through journaling. She writes poems which, like her paintings, are frequently in homage to observational response, memory and imagination.
She has exhibited paintings for more than four decades in numerous invitational shows and national competitions. She earned an MFA degree from Boston University after receiving BA and MFA degrees from Louisiana State University in her native Baton Rouge. Meredith has been awarded fellowships at Virginia Center for the Creative Arts in Amherst, Va., and Auvillar, France, and Millay Colony for the Arts in Austerlitz, N.Y. She has taught at Art New England/Mass Art summer workshops in Vermont and Cullowhee Mountain Arts in North Carolina.
Meredith believes in learning to see by studying beautiful form throughout history. She is an advocate, consultant, teacher and volunteer for free out-of-school children's programs in the visual arts, having founded and led Making Art with Artists (MAwA), a comprehensive community program of hands-on learning.
She continues her studio practice at the Gates Block building in Lowell, 307 Market St., #305.
