While each artist possesses a distinct style and aesthetic, a common thread runs though the intent and content of the work.

November 2008:
Her show in Atlanta, Picturing the Beltline, featuring her new work based on Atlanta’s Beltline project was well recieved. Read a review from burnaway.org’s Jeremy Abernathy who said that Meryl “can turn rust into rubies; she has an eye for architectural oddities and strikingly desolate landscapes.”
