He is a charter member in Watercolor USA Honor Society (WHS)-Board Member since 2000 &amp; President 2012-16. He received the City of Quincy Arts Award as an individual artist in 1990. Mejer held his 50-Year Retrospective at the Quincy Art Center in April 2018 (on YouTube). Mejer is listed in &#8220;Who&#8217;s Who in American Art&#8221; and &#8220;Who&#8217;s Who Among America&#8217;s Teachers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a Geometric Abstract Intimist that operates out of a collage-space tradition. My watercolors emanate from small 6&#8243; x 4&#8243; paper collages. I express various emotional situations using a layering process in order to create visual drama-via opposites, that equates to the pulse of life! I agree with Kandinsky that the circle is the most peaceful shape and that it represents the human soul. In my work I hope TO PRESENT (inside to out) rather than REPRESENT (outside to in).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"754\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Mejer_88323338_robert_lee_mejer-take_pc_open_book_4_watercolor_33_x_25_inches_2020-1024x754.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Mejer_88323338_robert_lee_mejer-take_pc_open_book_4_watercolor_33_x_25_inches_2020-1024x754.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Mejer_88323338_robert_lee_mejer-take_pc_open_book_4_watercolor_33_x_25_inches_2020-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Mejer_88323338_robert_lee_mejer-take_pc_open_book_4_watercolor_33_x_25_inches_2020-768x566.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Mejer_88323338_robert_lee_mejer-take_pc_open_book_4_watercolor_33_x_25_inches_2020-624x460.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Robert Lee Mejer is currently a Distinguished Professor of Art\/Gray Gallery Curator-Founder since 1968 at Quincy University, Quincy, IL.
