Roxanne Meadows

From 1975 to the present, Roxanne Meadows has worked with renowned futurist, Jacque Fresco, to develop and promote The Venus Project. The function of this project is to find alternative solutions to the many problems that confront the world today. She participated in the exterior and interior design and construction of the buildings of The Venus Project’s 21-acre research and planning center.

As a futurist presenting the aims of The Venus Project, Ms. Meadows, along with Mr. Fresco, has presented at conferences and seminars throughout the United States and in over 25 countries around the world. She also presented with Mr. Fresco to the United Nations in reception of his award for City Design and Community. She is available for lectures. Contact her for more information.

Roxanne Meadows attended Moore College of Art and received a B.F.A. from Maryland Institute of Art. She became a professional portrait artist using many different types of media. She later studied design, technical, and architectural rendering and model making under Jacque Fresco for 4 years. Today, Ms. Meadows is well-known for her accomplishments in scientific, technical, medical, and architectural illustration and model making. She taught technical and fine arts at the Sebring and Lake Placid Art Center and has worked as a computer animator for Ken Sneeden and Associates. In pursuit of other interests, she is also a licensed private pilot.
