Career
Meeks studied art and illustration at Brigham Young University (BYU) and attributes some of her inspiration and style to Alfred Hitchcock and Chris Van Allsburg.[2] She explains her style, "Not only is my work defined by the subjects it portrays, but I try really hard to represent certain values and ideals in it. There’s this juxtaposition of beauty and strangeness that I find really intriguing and I’d love to help others who see my work to feel the same thing."[3]
Meeks' work has been seen in editorial, concept art, video game art, and t-shirt designs.[4] Clients include HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Tor Books. Meeks created cover art for James Patterson’s Maximum Ride series.[5] She has been commissioned to create art for Magic: The Gathering.[6]
In 2021, she was commissioned to create the art for Neil Gaiman's The Monarch of the Glen and Black Dog vinyl edition box set.[7] Her work has been included in numerous exhibits, art shows, and online collections.[8][9]
