Her award-winning work has been published in Plein Air Magazine, Artist's Magazine and on permanent display at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. In addition to producing highly sought-after fine art, Megan has worked as a cover artist for Hidden Shelf Publishing House since 2018. Megan has developed a love for coastal scenes, wetlands, and maritime skies, which has been inspired by having lived surrounded by oceans, waterways and seascapes. While she grew up along the banks of the Susquehanna River in Central Pennsylvania, as the spouse of a Naval Officer, she has lived and traveled throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Pacific Seaboard for the last 16 years. Her paintings reflect a deep understanding of maritime environments and portray emotionally driven scenes of the shorelines of the rivers, harbors, and bays, which serve as the arterial waterways that give life to America. Since she began exhibiting her art in 2021, Megan has been accepted into numerous juried shows and won several awards in international fine art competitions. She is a member of the American Society of Marine Artists, the American Impressionists Society, the Maryland Federation of Art, and the National Oil and Acrylic Painters' Society. Artist Statement As the spouse of a Naval Officer, my lifestyle has been transient. Moving every two years has allowed me the opportunity to uncover what makes the environment I have been placed in unique and try to tell its story. This has been translated into my work through deep study of the landscapes and backgrounds I have been surrounded by. This body of work aims to communicate the beauty and richness of the Atlantic and Pacific Coastal regions through carefully thought-out focal points, illuminating values and compelling textures. As a Tonalist painter, the perspective of my work is dependent upon memory, emotional connection to the landscape, and an emphasis on atmosphere and mood.
