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 and German.
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 Hoare (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.
