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 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 cloth 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. Head to the Calica Studio and link at the top of this page to see some more of what I’m working on.
Born by Lake Ontario, I grew up on Georgian Bay and now live near the Atlantic Ocean in Kjipuktuk (Halifax), Nova Scotia.
