Margaret Meehan and Noah Simblist are possibly the two most
compassionate people I have ever met. The married couple are both
artists and recently moved from Dallas to Fort Worth where they live in a lovely bungalow that also incorporates their studio space.
Meehan’s work embraces issues dealing with medical anomalies, exploring
the qualities of what some might call freaks.  In Simblist’s work, the
artist calls attention to the intolerance and injustice of the
demolishing of Palestinian homes in the Israeli-occupied
territories.
