“Scarlett’s paintings express the magic of childhood through the language of art.”

Scarlett Meredith is an Atlanta based artist specializing in children’s portraits. Since college she has worked as a professional portrait artist with a parallel business in faux-finishing. She has worked for the top designers, builders, and architects in Atlanta. In September of 2011, her two careers collided. Scarlett picked up a crusty old faux finish board she had used as a palette and painted a quick oil study of her daughter. Suddenly magic happened. Scarlett recalls the moment, “Everything I had tried to do for so many years came together in one painting; the expression on the face, the brightness of the colors and my bravura brushwork. After 17 years of searching I had found my style.”
