Artist BIO
Meg Wallace is a South Florida multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, sound, photography, poetry, painting, experimental film, and natural found objects. Rooted in close observation, her practice explores the connections between people, place, and nature. She creates sensory environments that invite viewers to slow down, listen, and notice details that often go unseen.
Wallace’s approach developed through her years working across healthcare, community care, and environmental work. In each field, she found a common thread: meaningful care begins with simple attention. This principle guides her artistic exploration of human vulnerability, ecological responsibility, and mutual connection.
By combining tactile materials, field recordings, moving images, and written word, Wallace brings different modes of observation together. Her work frames art as a tool for empathy, self-reflection, and environmental stewardship.
Her upcoming solo exhibition, Out of Darkness: The Ecology of Care (September 12, 2026–September 11, 2027, at The Kampong), reflects these themes within the historic Dr. Eleanor Galt Simmons Office. The show features the debut of Whispers Beneath the Canopy, an experimental film highlighting the subtle rhythms of South Florida’s protected mangrove ecosystems.
