Meyer Blvd. KCMO www.theartsasylum.org www.risquerevelry.com COTI MEIER Kansas City-based artist Coti Meier finds humor in the everyday to create her drawings and collages. Her process involves layering paint, paper scraps, graphite, found images, and varied mark-making atop wood panels, often including quirky quips drawn from her personal experience or observations of others. Art has long been central to Meier’s life, helping her navigate mental health, while inviting connections with others through visual storytelling— sometimes humorous, sometimes reflective. Coti’s work is currently on display in the Art of Imagination case at the National Museum of Toys and Miniatures here in Kansas City. She will also be Artist of the Month at Roots KC - Westside in June with an opening event for the month long pop-up on Saturday, June 6 from 12 to 2 pm.
