Lens-based art and mixed media painting form the main through lines of her arts practice. While she holds a degree in Studio Art from Carleton College, she is primarily a self-taught photographer. Megan's photographs are a conversation with nature and have been referred to as poetic. She creates these images as she would craft a sentence: to shed light. Her paintings come out of a deep dive that began one day when she was ten and lost/found herself in the intermingling of pastels and paint. Grown now, she is still captivated by the alchemy that occurs between different materials, and the way that it opens portals to other ways of knowing.

Megan teaches in communal spaces and curates in often nontraditional environments. Her experiences of growing up queer, rural, and working class created a deep desire to shift the paradigms that control production of, access to, and connection with art.

“The arts are essential to our collective thriving. Without them, we can’t get to where we want to go.”
