VOICES OF HUNTSVILLE | CAPTURING LIFE IN PAINT BY MEREDITH BOGARDUS
"I am originally from Richmond, VA, a city rich in history and art. I am an artist at heart- It’s how my brain works. I can look at something and frame it in my mind, seeing the possibility of a color combo or creating illustrations from spills on my papers. Inspiration strikes me at the funniest times. My passion for art is a journey of having fun with life, I love color and whimsy. I recently painted all of our shampoo bottles on a whim. Why not?
I began my art business selling shoes in high school, and from there, my commissions and network of clients grew as I painted more and more things for different people. A friend from college asked me to do a live wedding painting in 2019, and I thought I’d give it a shot. I don’t like to say no to a challenge, plus I was a broke college student!
Let me share my thoughts on painting a wedding LIVE…
There is so much that goes into translating feeling on a canvas. It is hard to describe my process because it transcends proportions and proper execution of the building and perspective and paint techniques…no, a wedding painting is much more! The best art makes you move closer and think ‘I wish I had seen it like...’

It also handles special smaller homes and commercial properties in the downtown and central city areas. V V & W was established in Huntsville, Alabama in October of 1985 to serve the needs of Huntsville/Madison County’s unique historic and space-age community.
The two principals of the firm have more than 60 years of real estate experience between them, and with the entrance of their three daughters into the firm as REALTORS®, professional service has now extended into the second generation of the family within the business. The founders have ties to the earliest business life of the community dating to the 1810’s, as well as to the space age growth of the 1960’s. They are committed to leading V V & W into continued service of the community in the 21st century."
