"A Place to Be ME"

​

Hi, My name is Meghan and I have decided to make art a part of my life again. Adding this relaxing past time, goes great with my other hobbies, yoga, Tai Chi, and my wellness appointments of acupuncture. All of these sources help me be the Mom and the partner, the sister, the daughter, the friend, and the reliable co-worker I thrive to be on a daily basis.

 

I have no formal training but have been raised around music, art and creative thinkers my entire life. I have been blessed with a supportive family so I have this time to keep my passion going. It inspires me to do things, (not sleep sometimes, lol) but to be creative and make things I never thought I could with my hands.  I have been creating a lot of firsts such as face sketches, city escapes, forests with trees,etc.  I enjoy making these as presents, and asking people what inspires them, then taking their color theme, finding an image as an "inspiration" and going from there. I began doing this in my home in January 2019 when I realized I needed to find a hobby instead of stress eating. It has been helping a lot!  It started with making t-shirt Disney drawings for my kids, then I began painting this month (9/19). The rest is history!
