ABOUT

Madalynne Meeker is a visual artist, environmentalist, and wildlife photographer from Louisiana whose work explores the delicate and often imperiled relationship between humanity and the natural world. She received her BFA in Studio Art with a concentration in Photography and a minor in environmental science from Baylor University. Her practice merges fine art and environmental advocacy, utilizing digital and alternative photographic processes to illuminate nature's fragility and resilience.

Meeker’s work is deeply influenced by field research and hands-on conservation efforts. In the summer of 2024, she completed a photography internship in Greenland under the mentorship of Joseph Hall, where she documented Arctic wildlife and the region’s rapidly changing ecosystems. Through her lens, she seeks to preserve the ephemeral beauty of the wild while raising awareness of the urgent threats facing biodiversity.

Her images have been recognized on international platforms, including Lenscratch’s Top 25 Students to Watch. She has exhibited in juried shows, such as Monochrome at Blue Koi Gallery and the Baylor Student Exhibition at the Martin Museum of Art. In 2025 alone, Meeker had her work exhibited in over five nationally recognized galleries, and in 2024, she received the American Graphic Design Award from GDUSA’s 61st Annual Competition.

Blending science and art, Meeker’s work challenges viewers to rethink their own connection to nature. She continues to push the boundaries of photographic storytelling, aiming to inspire action and remind the viewer of humanity’s intrinsic connection with the wild.
