About Made by Meish

I am a queer artist based in Charleston, West Virginia. I grew up in the lower peninsula of Michigan where I spent most of my summers playing in the woods. As an avid hiker, outdoor adventurer, and forager of plants and mushrooms, I am inspired by the unique beauty of each season and the colorful patterns of the forest. I recognize the importance of shape and texture, particularly when identifying trees in the winter months by their bark and locating edible mushrooms. I primarily use acrylic and watercolor as a medium to translate this connection with nature through my artwork, which features vibrant though often overlooked natural remains and imaginative creatures.Read their story
