Meg Harris Williams is a writer and artist with a
particular interest is the relation between psychoanalysis and aesthetic
experience, in poetry and visual art.
She was born in London in 1951 and read English at Cambridge and
Oxford universities, and studied art in Florence and the UK. As a daughter of Martha Harris she has had a lifelong
psychoanalytic education, working closely with her stepfather Donald Meltzer in the post-Kleinian
field (in which the ideas of Wilfred R. Bion are influential) and is now
editor of the Harris Meltzer Trust. Meg has taught and lectured in
England, Europe, Scandinavia, South America and the USA; many papers and
book-chapters have been translated into Spanish, Italian, French, German,
Greek and Portuguese. She is a visiting lecturer at the Tavistock Centre. She is married with
four children and now lives in Crondall near Farnham, Surrey where she runs
life-drawing groups inspired by the methods of Meriel Gold
(after Cecil Collins). She is a member of Borderlands Artists’ Consortium
and of the Women’s Work committee. Her work is in private collections in
this country and abroad and in the New
Hall Women’s Art Collection. |
