Meredith Plant is a Queensland artist who lives and works on Tamborine Mountain In the Gold Coast hinterland. She is married with 3 fairly adult children, and works as a part time Primary Music Specialist in a local school. She is particularly interested in Choral production and large group percussion.

Meredith has also worked as Artist in Residence at various schools and community arts groups, conducting art classes, and collaborating with students to produce large murals. She also conducts private art classes in which she teaches the principles and skills of fine art, including drawing, painting, printmaking, and the history of art.

In 2004, Meredith completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Fine Art) with First Class Honours at Queensland College of Arts (Griffith University, Brisbane). On completion of these degrees, she won the University Medal for Academic Excellence.

During her studies, which included Art Theory, Gold and Silver smithing, Painting, Sculpture, Illustration, she majored in Printmaking and Drawing. Her prolific body of work now includes many etches, drawings, lithographs, screen prints, paintings, and monoprints, and covers a wide range of styles and genres.

Meredith has always had an intense interest in Biblical Theology and Philosophy. Because of this background, and in combination with the strong conceptual emphasis in QCA, Meredith became increasingly attentive to the role of worldview in art.

Meredith’s Honours exhibition consisted of 40 large monoprints and 63 small paintings about transcendence. These works explored the iconography of Theistic transcendence, both in literal, and abstract form. Her Honours thesis compared the ideas of Biblical Theistic transcendence with those of Buddhism and Romantic Humanism, within the context of Colin McCahon’s ‘Victory over Death 2’
