Printmaker Megan is based out of her studio in Devon, England. She specialises in linocut and is particularly drawn to the process of reduction prints, a method whereby the artist carves away portions of the lino, printing the block at intervals, and layering the colours one by one. It is through this process that Megan has developed her distinctive style, combining clean lines and silhouettes with colours taken straight from the nature.
Influenced by the natural world and her place within it, Megan strives to depict the emotions she feels in each moment of inspiration. The feeling of joy, both quiet and exultant, is the prevalent emotion she feels when connecting with nature, along with a sense of stillness, of being at peace. And never are these feelings greater then when in the water. Megan is particularly inspired by her frequent outdoor swimming adventures which are her greatest muse. In fact, she credits the cold water with re-igniting her creative flame after a seven-year career break, stating ‘I owe everything to the water’.
