Megan has been working as an artist for 20 years 

Primarily self taught her work has been described as ‘Faux Naif but there is an acute awareness of art history and contemporary art .

The palette has changed from the signature dark series of a decade ago to the more saccharine softer pastel of current series . 

The works continue to explore an ongoing theme of humankind’s connection with, and attempts to interpret the natural environs. 

Beauty is found in the mundane and ordinary. There are vignettes of rather modest gardens spotted on daily rambles. Nature provides an ever changing yet constant backdrop for human activity, with human presence often indicated by manmade structures. 

Greg O’Brien described Megan in his book ‘Back and Beyond [NZ Art For The Young and Curious]’ as a magpie “She poozles things from all over the place”. Latterly she has worked from secondary sources such as old garden manuals and books on floral arranging- prescriptions for activities that enable people to connect with and also manipulate the natural world, albeit in sometimes rather odd ways.
