Meredith Wolf

Meredith Wolf’s latest exhibition of abstract paintings is titled “Aura of Inner Spaces.” These paintings are influenced by the soul and its moods. “I am an intuitive painter, I do not attempt to portray a particular subject but to capture my inner emotions. I allow my subconscious the freedom to explore and create with no preconceived plan.”

Wolf, a New Jersey native, has a degree in textile design from Syracuse University and an art teaching certificate from Montclair State University. She has exhibited widely and her work is in many private and corporate collections.
