"Brother Mel Meyer (1928-2013), a beloved artist-in-residence in St. Louis, Mo., for more than 35 years, joined the Marianists in 1947. As a talented young artist, he worked and studied with some internationally acclaimed artists in Europe. He created art in a variety of media. He sculptures are crafted as welded medal non-representational abstractions; thus viewers are interpret the works based on their own life experiences." - St. Mary's Sculpture Garden plaque
