Merry Reimler is an artist based in Minneapolis. She studied at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Minnesota. Her work has been exhibited in numerous group shows both locally and nationally. She is an active member of the Homewood Photo Collective in North Minneapolis.
Using digital photography, collage, fabric, encaustic, and other materials to create layered, dynamic compositions, Merry often explores themes of home, family, memory, and time. She allows her process to unfold organically in the studio, working intuitively and focuses on embracing the unexpected—rather than rushing toward a polished end result before the work is ready.
"Loose play in the studio engages my mind deeply and helps me develop concepts and projects. Especially inspired and challenged by collage, I’m drawn to explore how different themes, images and materials might begin to be combined—how they dance and sing together, or whether they spark a deeper visual curiosity. Can merging these materials deepen the ideas I’m working through in a given piece?”
