Who are Petals and Pipes?

Dana and Pizo Meyer

Dana attended the University of Texas at Austin and received her degree in Fine Arts. Influenced by her environment, from nature to urban landscapes and using expressive lines, the result is work that is abstract and layered. These complex pieces ride the edges of automatic writing and graffiti at times, documenting the environment, world, and emotions. Dana’s work has been selected for interior design projects, invitational shows, and juried exhibitions.

Pizo creates highly detailed, surreal ink and graphite drawings utilizing a diverse range of mark-making techniques. Firmly believing that compelling art can emerge from the most fundamental materials, his preferred mediums remain pen, pencil, and paper. A profound passion for the natural world inspires his distinct "organic" style, where he employs intricate micro-marks to construct fluid forms, figures, and landscapes. Pizo’s work has been widely selected for juried exhibitions and invitationals. Alongside a series of ongoing independent projects, he is a contributing member of the International Union of Mail-Artists (I.U.O.M.A.).

Pizo and Dana began working in the same studio together at Mother Dog Studios in 2010. Currently working in their home studio, their combined energy keeps them inspired to create.
