When Megan is unable to emotionally express herself to the world, her art showcases her inner turmoil through the smudges of graphite, the strokes of a paintbrush, or the thousands of undoing inputs on drawing applications. She often doesn’t think about worldly issues as they are, but rather how people react towards them and their emotions tied to specific topics. Megan focuses on the squeezing and stretching of the face, the wrinkles that map out one’s emotions, especially in times of extreme highs and lows. As she lays in bed at night, her thoughts are constantly on a repeat of the past day’s events, focusing on the times she spent with those close to her but also observing the strangers that surround her. Megan uses her art to tell someone else’s story through visual media, expressing their inner turmoil being some relief from her own troubles. Although being an introvert has been detrimental to her social life, she cherishes her family and friends that she’s had the opportunity to connect. She often uses her often to crystalize them physically and have a creative way of remembering each person. Using them as the main subjects of her pieces, she reflects the familiarity of their smile or expression of anger, being able to encapsulate their personalities within a singular composition.

However, creating that deep connection with each person and keeping them forever within her work comes with a price, as sometimes, things aren’t forever. She’s realized that one of her biggest fears is rejection, something so broad yet so specific that it often inhibits her from reaching out to others. Seeing someone leave her behind as they move on brings Megan so much pain as they leave her with thousands of memories imprinted into her brain. She uses art to keepsake those moments but also expresses her pain of someone leaving, severing that connection with her.

On the other hand, throughout her life, she’s grown a deep appreciation for the art created by nature, especially the beauty of sunsets as a long day comes to an end. Still, in those final moments of light, a beautiful show is presented above. The warm sensation one gets from the burst of colors inspires the different color palettes she uses in her work. Going beyond the natural color palettes of humans, she likes to include other shots of colors as they make certain aspects pop and add an overall warmth to the piece. As she continues to live each day, obtaining more and more memories, good or bad, her art continues to be a way of memorializing her past, each day bringing inspiration to her next piece.
