Meredith Stern grew up in a small, conservative rural town in Pennsylvania where her mother taught her how to grow vegetables and ride horses. Her Jewish family fled the pogroms in Belarus and Austria in the early 20th century. Her family discovered Quakerism where she was introduced to consensus decision making process and peace activism. She graduated Cum Laude at Tulane University with a BFA in Ceramics. After college she and several friends founded Nowe Miasto, a collectively run space in New Orleans which hosted music and film events, housed a screen-printing studio and a backyard garden where she planted her first strawberry plant. Her multifaceted practice includes printmaking, drumming, collage, gardening, and ceramic arts. She views art as a powerful medium of communication to visualize a more just and peaceful world, and to celebrate the power of mutual aid and collective resistance. Her work is in the permanent collections at the Library of Congress, The RISD Museum, the Book Arts Collection at the New York MOMA, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts. She has given artist talks at universities, museums, and community spaces. In 2012 she curated a portfolio on gender justice titled "This is an Emergency!" In 2015 she created 14 large scale linoleum block portraits of several of her colleagues as a series titled "Craft in Time." In 2016 she created a series of prints of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Her website with one of a kind print collages and ceramic art is at www.meredithstern.org
