​Meg G. Freyermuth is a professional artist from Las Cruces, New Mexico. Freyermuth received her BFA in May 2009 from New Mexico State University, with a focus in Drawing & Painting and a minor in Art History.  Since 2005, Freyermuth has had numerous solo and group shows in New Mexico and the southwest. Her influences include daily natural phenomena, wildlife, and natural & public histories. Freyermuth frequently paints en plein air ("in the open air"), but also works from her own photos, sketches, and memory in the studio. She works primarily in oil, watercolor, charcoal, graphite, and colored pencil, recording the emotions, sublimity, and energy of the landscapes around her.

Meg G. Freyermuth has received numerous honors and awards. She won second place in the First Annual CLC Plein Air Competition in September, 2010. In September 2011, she won first place in the Second Annual CLC Plein Air Competition. In 2012, she received the Juror's Award in the Avenue Art New Mexico chalk art contest. In 2015, she was selected as the first Artist-In-Residence for the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument for September 2015, (also see the BLM-managed site for the Monument here). In 2016, Freyermuth received 2nd Place in the Avenue Art New Mexico chalk art contest in downtown Las Cruces. In the summer of 2018, she designed and painted two murals with residents in her neighborhood and Doña Ana Communities United, as a way to build community and connect with the neighborhood (murals are located on Nevada & Mimbres, and Nevada & Brook, in Las Cruces, NM).

Freyermuth is currently showing work in Las Cruces, New Mexico, at Crossroads Community Acupuncture (1320 S. Solano); Full Circle Health Center (210 West Las Cruces Ave.); and the office of Friends of Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks (300 N.
