Meg is a Scottish-based printmaker and painter whose work explores representations of the natural world. For Meg, printmaking and painting are not separate, but two interconnected forms of image-making that inform each other. Both disciplines are deeply rooted in a daily practice of drawing from life. Through motifs of landscape and the animal/human form, and landscapes which are at once real and imagined, her work explores collective memory and subconscious. Her paintings are informed from drawings made from life, dreams, and a deep connection with the timeless human act of painting. Stylistic references include ancient frescos, prehistoric cave art, paintings from the early Italian Gothic and Renaissance eras, folk art, and 20th-century European paintings.
Meg completed a Post-Graduate in Drawing at The Royal Drawing School in 2013. She has also lectured in various art schools and universities including the RWA Drawing School and the University of West England. In 2022 she was elected as a member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers. Her work has been selected for the Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Prize, and most recently for an exhibition at Christies celebrating the legacy of Picasso. She has recently been awarded funding from the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust to develop her work in Etching and complete an MA in Contemporary Art Practice at Edinburgh College of Art.
