Megan Jaster paints a world that beckons reinterpretation and encourages engagement both emotively and intellectually in the shifting vestiges of a swiftly moving modern life captured by her researched observations. She is inspired by innovation and enjoys capturing this from perspectives of a personal curiosity. For example in some paintings post internet futurism merges with the diaspora of culture orphans. In other series she explores the zeitgeist of a city she is working in. She compiles imagery from her own photography and other media.
