About Me

Artist Don Meredith

During a traumatic childhood I both lost myself in art, and found myself in art—and found God in the process. My gifts for drawing, painting, writing and photography are God-given. I believe God’s Hand has always guided mine.

Michelangelo said that “The true work of art is but a shadow of the Divine Perfection.” I was always a perfectionist, which helped me to master my craft. It has been a lifelong challenge to loosen up and simply strive for excellence. Like many artists, I am never quite satisfied with my work. I am still learning; a work in progress. 

Versatile self-taught artist Don Meredith, designer of the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger commemorative, specializes in hand painted acrylic portraits of people and pets. He does land and seascapes, and accepts commissions for children’s book illustrations, cartoons and caricatures, logo design, murals and calligraphy.

All of Don’s work is done the old-fashioned way, by hand-nothing is ever computer-generated. Though he is self-taught, with over 45 years of art experience, he acknowledges that his talents are God-given. He believes that the Lord’s hand has always guided his own.
