A third-generation abstract expressionist, Meyer creates painterly ribbons and tangles of brushstrokes that amass into loosely grid-based structures, often under-painted with warm pastel washes. In her mid-twenties, Meyer and fellow artist Miriam Schapiro penned an influential essay linking the history of collage to traditionally female hobbies like quilting and scrapbooking. However, unlike Schapiro, Meyer didn't join the Pattern and Decoration movement, but instead went on to create lyrical all-over compositions in diluted oil paint, inspired by the translucent qualities of watercolor.
