Artist Statement
Meg Jeffery is a painter of the urban landscape, with a particular fascination for old homes and the deterioration of the built environment. Her current focus is on the homes and buildings of the Gold Coast that have been demolished to accommodate for the city's rapid growth. She is currently painting in a lo-res style, in which she uses small squares of impasto paint applied using a grid.
