Mei Drucker moved to Mount Shasta from China in June, 2010. She has been a lifelong artist and designer. Mei started painting as a small child. Mei graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts in art and graphic design. Mei spent much of her career in China working as the artistic director for multiple corporatons producing the graphics and art design. While living in China Mei has won many provincial, municipal and national advertising design awards. She has also received multiple awards for her paintings including the Best of Show in the 2008 Hong Kong Exhibit for her Beijing 2008 Olympic painting. Since moving to Mount Shasta Mei has felt free to create paintings that she was unable to paint in her native country. Mei won Best of Show for her Blue Lotus painting and her Heart of Mount Shasta design was featured on the 2013 July 4th tee shirt.
Mei’s goal is to spread happiness and calmness through her art. Her paintings come to life as she paints with vivid, flowing colors in a style that is a unique form of expression. Mei’s paintings feel alive and full of emotion. Many people have stated when viewing her Green Buddha painting that they feel the Buddha’s eyes are watching them. Her style ranges from traditional Chinese art to the beautifully abstract. Mei loves the process of creating a painting as it unfolds from a bare canvas to a beautiful creation. Many of her paintings, prints, wall hangings and tiles incorporate the image of Mount Shasta in her designs.
In 2015 Mei opened Mei Drucker Art Gallery & Gift Shoppe in downtown Mount Shasta. Mei wanted to create designs in affordable mediums so her art is accessible to everyone. Upon entering her gallery you are bathed in bright colors that is the signature of Mei’s art. Her gallery is full of items that will appeal to everyone including brightly colored tiles, Buddha, dragons, jewelry, wall hangings, photography, cards and many other items. Mei can be found online at meidruckerartshoppe.com & meidruckerart.com. Her gallery is at 312N. Mt. Shasta Blvd. Mount Shasta, Ca. 96067 and she can be reached at meidrucker@att.net or 530-918-5211
