Meg Alexander

Meg Alexander is a Massachusetts-based artist who primarily focuses on contemplative, black-and-white representations of the natural world in her immediate milieu. Her drawings and ink studies, usually executed in small scale on Nepal paper, shirk exact mimesis in favor of an emotionally excavatory relationship to seeing—Alexander documents modest, changeable moments that might easily escape a less watchful eye. She sources most of her material from the woods behind her house, and her devotional accrual of individual marks as form reflects that intimacy, pushing her still-lives into the realm of portraiture, or prayer.


Alexander’s work has been featured in a variety of private collections and has been exhibited at Drive-by Projects in Watertown, MA, Gallery Kayafas, Allston Skirt Gallery, Oh + T Gallery and Howard Yezerski Gallery, all in Boston proper. She has also shown at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Alexander has received multiple Massachusetts Cultural Council grants, as well as an Alumnae Traveling Scholarship from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
