About the Artist: Seeing opportunity and beauty in all things is what Megan strives for in a way of living and expressing that in her art. She has an innate drive to create art that captures the unique quality of the duality of pain and hope that feeds resilience and overcoming, but also in finding joy in the simple pleasures of life. Megan recently finished a Master of Fine Art Degree at New York Academy of Art and now resides in Saint George, Utah with her family. Being a wife and mother is one of the most treasured gifts she has, and she loves seeing sparks in each of her family member's own unique creativity. Together, they love the outdoors, getting exercise, creating things, and all things homemade. Her artwork has been seen in multiple shows throughout Utah and New York City, is included in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Permanent Collection and Sears Art Gallery Permanent Collection, notable private collections, published in multiple magazines, and seen in the book, A Boy's Guide to Heavenly Mother (2020).
