Meena Satnarain is an artist and researcher born & working in New York City. Her art is an innovative mix of traditional craft with technology, often weaving elements of textiles, sculpture, and video.
As an experienced art educator, Meena knows art practice is more than what museums and the art industry authorize. Beginning at a young age, creativity is an essential vitality of earth itself and works produced are tangible expressions of individualism and nature. Nurturing creative confidence is contributing to positivity in the world and beyond. Meena believes technology has a unique power to form first person narratives that have been marginalized, like her Guyanese American ancestry. A recent professional achievement was getting the Royal Collection Trust in England to correctly attribute a vase to indigenous Guyanese artist Stephanie Correia.
Textual Objects is a force of nature developed from her RISD MFA in Digital Media, organized to collaborate on visionary art and design for everyday knowledge. Meena also holds a MA in Art Education from New York University and a BA in Visual & Performing Arts from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Meena enjoys learning and teaching herself new techniques. Kindness matters and language is more than letters and characters. However, traditional education has its place in designing infrastructure that promote creativity and peace.
This art collection is representative of handmade expressions informing her creative practice. More examples of additional work available for curatorial and professional inquiry.
