Megan considers painting a journey into the depth of the human experience. She integrates the concepts of active imagination as defined by Jung into her discovery process and captures forms based on specific themes both personal and universal. Having a love of travel and a variety of perspectives has encouraged a distinct evolution in imagery throughout her work and is an important ingredient in what fuels her topics. This curiosity manifests as extended time in foreign places, to find new stories , new facets that awaken the spark of awe. Deeply interested in the dance of what compels , frightens, delights and forms humanity, in each series of works the question is asked, how can these experiences be elevated and alchemized in Art?
