Meike Legler

Fabrics are my paint

Meike Legler is a German, Los Angeles based artist who uses fabrics as the medium for her abstract and often times minimalistic and geometric artworks.

She was born in Alzenau, a small town in Franconia, and holds a BA in fashion design from HTW Berlin, where she lived for 10 years. The move to LA in 2016 marked a turning point in her career when she started making wall art out of different fabrics and turned into a full time artist.

Her works are in private as well as commercial collections in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, New York City, Detroit, Palm Springs, and Mar Vista.
