She is an award-winning  self-taught artist and has taken numerous workshops with nationally known artists including  R. Doug Walton, Jane E.

She is a versatile semi-abstract artist who works in a range of media including watercolor, acrylic and mixed-media. Her work is contemporary using predominantly geometric shapes and/or bold curves. Her excellent design and compositional structures are testimony to the many hours of thought and imagineering that she devotes to each piece. She has a passion for interesting shapes particularly  puzzles and musical notes.  Her works are exceptionally creative, technically skilled and always wrapped in harmonious fields of colors. Carol Benson, a juror at Visual Arts Society of Texas 39th Annual State Exhibit verbally described her work as “progressive and forward-thinking”

Her latest collection of unique mixed-media  feature much of her playful creativity and texturally these include hand-made dichroic glass, metals, exotic threads and fabrics.

Meding has received numerous awards and prizes in all media that she paints. She has exhibited in many local, State, and National shows. Her work is in numerous private collections in Germany, U.K. California and Texas. She has had several solo shows and numerous group exhibitions.
