HI, I'm meghan.
I love to tell visual stories. My background is in textiles and experience includes product styling, visual merchandising, art making, design, teaching, portfolio review and social media management. I’m interested in the power that objects hold with individuals as well as in the collective memory. My work with textiles often includes found bits and free-motion embroidery. The real or imagined history of objects and materials is significant to my art practice, expanding into stop-motion animation, papier-mâché, and watercolour painting. I have an Advanced Honors Diploma in Craft and Design from Sheridan College, an Interdisciplinary BFA from NSCAD University and am a recent graduate of the NSCAD University Master of Arts in Art Education program.
Born by Lake Ontario, I grew up on Georgian Bay and now live near the Atlantic Ocean in Kjipuktuk (Halifax), Nova Scotia.
