Karen S. Monero is the visionary founder of Meridian Gallery, with locations spanning New York, Paris, and Los Angeles. Over the past 25 years, she has shaped the contemporary art landscape through her unique approach to curation and her own artistic practice.

Her work explores the intersection of memory, space, and human connection, employing mixed media techniques that challenge traditional boundaries between disciplines. Karen's installations have been featured in major institutions worldwide, and her curatorial vision has launched the careers of countless emerging artists.

As both an artist and gallerist, Karen brings a rare dual perspective to Meridian, creating spaces where art and audience engage in meaningful dialogue.
