With her first solo exhibition taking place in 1976, over the decades that followed her paintings have been written about by a number of artists, including Stephen Westfall and Robert Storr. Meyer continues to live and work in New York, NY.
Meyer received a fellowship at the American Academy in Rome in 1980, two National Endowment for the Arts grants (1983, 1993), the National Academy 183rd Invitational Eric Isenburger Annual Award (2008) and a Jackson Pollock - Lee Krasner Foundation Grant (2009). In the late 1970s Meyer and Miriam Schapiro collaborated on a Heresies article entitled Femmage.
In 1997 her sketchbooks were published in facsimile by the Mezzanine Gallery of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In 2001-2002, she completed two large lobby murals for the Shiodome City Center, designed by Roche-Dinkeloo and Associates, in the Minato district of Tokyo.
Joyce Kozloff, Joan Snyder and Melissa worked together on Heresies: A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics, a journal produced between 1977 and 1992.
