Meghan lives and works in Toronto. She graduated from OCAD University in 2006, winning the prestigious OCAD Medal for Drawing and Painting. Her work revolves around the abstraction of the natural world and working with drawing and painting materials in a process-based way.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Using landscapes and forms from the natural world as a starting point, I create process-based works that combine drawing and painting, often on a large scale. As layers build on top of one another, the painting evolves organically without being forced. The idea of not being in control of the painting and not knowing what the end result will be fascinates me. My painting process mimics life, growth and the natural world. I approach each piece with the intention of creating something beautiful and real, and the contrast in materials used and marks made on the surface illustrate the concept that something beautiful is made up of many contrasting pieces. Harshness, subtlety, ugliness, and softness are all vital in the creation of something that is imperfect and beautiful.
