Meg Walsh

"My goal as an artist is to emphasize what interests me most about a specific place at a moment in time. I want you to see the world through my eyes."

Meg Nottingham Walsh, an award-winning painter and former National Geographic editor, invites viewers into her world, capturing serene moments that often pass unnoticed. Drenched in light and color, her paintings convey the lush hues of nature with heartfelt honesty. Characterized by simplified shapes, limited values, and glowing color, her work has a strong abstract element while remaining rooted in realism. Her paintings more than just a visual experience; they are journeys into the heart of the landscapes she portrays. 

Meg has been recognized with numerous awards at national juried exhibitions and plein air competitions, and she is represented by galleries in Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Her landscapes are featured in the book "100 Plein Air Painters of the Mid-Atlantic" and can be found in the collections of the Academy Art Museum, in Easton, MD, the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD, Georgetown University Hospital, in Washington, DC, and Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, VA. A juried member of the historic Washington Society of Landscape Painters and the Salmagundi Club in New York, Meg lives on the scenic Eastern Shore of Maryland.
