Megan George
Megan grew up on a dairy farm in western New York, where she got the inspiration for her current body of work: cows. The elaborate details of the work are juxtaposed with the subjects’ universally perceived simpleness and uncomplicated nature. She was instructed under the tutelage of a local artist, Mary Wertz. Megan went to college for Veterinary Technology; a career in which has lent countless sources for reference for her work. Megan is represented by Cooper Corner Gallery in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. She was selected to participate in both the 2023 Valley Visual show in Carbondale and the 2023 Redstone Art Festival. Both of which she received the People’s Choice Award for her pieces. She further received People’s Choice at the Redstone Art Festival in 2024. She has shown work in both the CALS national juried exhibition and the 36th Annual All-Colorado juried show, in addition to many local county fair exhibitions.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I am fascinated with all aspects of our built inhabit and the objects we create to fill the space to the relationships we develop and within our everyday life; I feel a common thread of curiosity about the connections created throughout time. This curiosity fosters my creative exploration to explores potentially uncomfortable ideas and conversations. For me, art often tells a through these stories, we can be reminded that we should listen as often as we narrate. These personalized thoughts and ideas, I am seeking to build my experiences and create understanding of open dialogue.
