With such a diverse background in the arts and a dedication to the pursuit of artistic freedom, Merilee is able to create stunning and innovative works of art. Her paintings and mosaics are a direct reflection of both the artist and her life, mirroring in color, texture and design her many experiences and memories. Always exploring and experimenting with different techniques and mediums, she channels the chaos and energy of everyday life, using it to fuel her creativity and originality. This experimentation and exploration, combined with her many artistic talents, results in artwork that is both powerful and visionary. Her creations have a universal appeal, and are on display in collections around the world.

Included in this collection are paintings ranging from bold, colorful and amusing, to the more somber tones of ten years spent in the Soviet emigre community. Fluid lines, spontaneous color and textural effects heighten the sense of emotion, and allow the viewer to see images and reflections of their own life in her work.

The works in the mosaic collection combine ancient tradition with modern vision. Done in the collage, or pique assiette method, they are a kaleidoscope of colors and textures, transforming ordinary objects into elaborate and luminous treasures. Spectacular and vibrant to behold, one can feel the energy of the past and present melding together to create each piece.
