Callian Meran –Callian Meran works primarily in watercolor and India ink on artist’s paper. Her
use of woven strips of painted Braille paper on greeting cards and some larger works
results in a wonderfully unique texture and depth. “For
a long time,” Callian says, “I just painted swatches of color as a way of
discharging feelings. Later as I began to
gain energy I started drawing flowers and cacti. One
day I added a shell to my drawing and something inside me shifted. I knew then I was going to be an artist.” Callian, who worked for
many years as a preschool teacher before moving to Santa Fe, says, “My paintings are
light, playful and colorful. Playfulness has
always been central to my life’s journey even when addressing the soul’s dark
side.” Dark is not the
descriptive adjective that comes to mind when viewing Callian’s colorful, joyous, and
sometimes whimsical work. Callian came to Santa Fe
in 1990, seeking clean air and a place to heal. Her
working studio is a favorite stop on the San Marcos Studio Tour. Her work has been shown at the Onate Center,
Espanola; El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe; and VSA/North Fourth Art Center exhibits. Callian Meran |
