Meam Hartshorn is a visual artist from Colorado. After graduating college in 2021, she moved to Austin, TX and began her professional art career. Throughout her process, Meam recognized the benefit of online art platforms in supporting the work of artists, but saw that there were not enough dedicated to the education and growth of emerging artists. She launched The Artful Collective as a way to amplify the work of emerging artists, offer a space to connect, and access resources to help them achieve their artistic goals.

Meam continues to make her own artwork alongside running TAC. For more insight into her work and practice, visit meamhartshorn.com.
