PaintxPixels | Art by Meaghan Rey

Meaghan Rey is a multifaceted artist based in Florida, specializing in traditional oil painting and digital art. Her work is defined by a restrained, atmospheric color palette centered around green and Prussian blue tones, creating pieces that feel both ghastly and hauntingly beautiful. For Rey, this intentional use of color serves as a visual representation of living with incurable chronic illness — an experience that dramatically shifts, colors, and bleeds into every moment of her life, ultimately tinting it permanently. Through this limited palette, she invites viewers to see the world through her eyes.

​

Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Rey focuses primarily on animal portraiture and landscapes, blending realism with emotion to capture quiet moments, movement, and mood, while remaining deeply conscious of how altered perception shapes her interpretation of life itself. Through both traditional and digital mediums, her work explores the drama of real life, and the relationship between light and dark; all through the scope of her astounding vulnerability and unique visual storytelling.
