Merritt grew up with ink-stained fingers and excess Crayola marks on her desk, always leaving a trail of art wherever she went. Now a young adult, she is rediscovering her beginnings through art.

With roots in Boston, Los Angeles, New York, and Santa Fe, Merritt hopes to sprout into an artist who uses her unsettled and curious nature to find beauty in uncertainty. Her work reflects the sentiments of a young woman navigating the divine, chaotic, and occasionally wearisome world.

Still growing into her creative mind, Merritt applies the greatest extent of her artistic knowledge in photography, videography, painting, and digital and print media to produce bold collages and evocative photos. By dabbling in different media, she is not limited by a singular concentration.

Driven by her reverie and zeal, Merritt challenges herself when collaborating with musicians, entrepreneurs, and artists to produce a product greater than the sum of its components. She combines her determined nature and unabashedly vibrant style to ignite a sense of individuality and independence in her art.
