Meyer’s paintings are dramatic, and so is she. Her work has elicited comparisons with that of the Society of Six, a group of Bay Area artists known for their plein-air painting back in the 1920s and ’30s. Meyer aligned herself with her own group of contemporaries for a while: As a founding member of the BayWood Artists, she became increasingly known in San Francisco’s North Bay. “The BayWood Artists go into environmentally sensitive areas and paint them to raise funds to buy these lands, so migrating birds can still go through, so animals can have access, so people can have access,” she explains. These days, though, “I just don’t have time to do it anymore,” she confesses.
