EARLIER WORKS (1995 - 2003 )
PAINTINGS,
ETCHINGS
& DRAWINGS
In 1995, I started oil painting my
sophomore year in college at the College of William and Mary. It took
me another year to be able to mix the true colors that I saw. As challenging as it was at first, I
continued to paint and got a Bachelor's or Art with a concentration in
painting and printmaking.

MURALS
I graduated in 1998 and began a business called Murals by Merril in Northern Virginia. I was a free-lance artist and painted murals for businesses and home-owners in Maryland, D.C, and Virginia.
2001 PAINTINGS
In 2001 I moved back to Williamsburg and exhibited at the 2001 Occasions for the Arts.
For my floral paintings, I primed the canvas black and laid the paint onto the canvas with the palette knife. I also used the palette knife for my European landscapes. I visited Europe in the summer of 1999 and was greatly influenced by the Post Impressionistic paintings in Le Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France.
In 2004 I began the MIS (master of interdisciplinary arts) program at VCU and have learned new techniques, medias, and modes of design.
