Haynes Meritt Art
Mixed media, acrylic and collage

My art is an expression of my love for the natural world. The colors, textures, movements, and sounds I experience while exploring the world form the layers of paint, collage, and marks found in my paintings. Abstract painting is the way I love to bring nature to the world.

Artist Bio

I am originally from eastern North Carolina, and currently call both Emerald Isle and Burlington North Carolina home. Coastal and wooded landscapes heavily influence my art. I've explored many art forms over the years. My favorites were pottery, fabric landscapes, photography, repurposed garden art, and collage. While I found painting late in life, it's without a doubt my favorite medium. Combining acrylic paint, collage, and other media is an exciting process that fully engages my creativity.
