Libby Meathe is an artist and art teacher who recently relocated to the Milwaukee area from Atlanta, Georgia. She has had the pleasure of working with students ranging in ages from kindergarten to high school in various parts of the south and Midwest. As a teacher, Libby strives to transfer her passion for the arts to her students. Along with her degree in Art Education, she also holds a degree in Art History which she uses to enrich all of her lessons and student-driven experiences. In her artwork, she mostly uses painting and printmaking processes to produce imagery relating to constructs of feminity and the female form. Recently, she has begun to use ceramics as another exciting, creative outlet. She believes deeply that exploring the arts is an important and necessary to experience for all people that is not limited to age and ability, but rather by desire and inspiration.
