Meg Perotti is a Northern California based fine artist working in botanical painting, illustration, and photography. Her work is rooted in close observation of the natural world, the human experience and an attunement to the unnoticed.

Her background in photography continues to inform her work, shaping a long-standing fascination with documentation, nostalgia, and the quiet ways people interact with the world around them.

She lives and works in Northern California with her husband and three children.
