Megan’s tree series will be on display at the Judith Wright Centre from 31 May – 23 August 2019 as part of the Seasonal Sittings of Tiny Art – Winter

As an artist, Megan is interested in the economics of plants, the patterns and colours of plants and the communities that are drawn together with plants in many different ways. The stories surrounding plants. She uses natural history as a pathway to tell stories in a visual way. At present Megan works with groups of young children, guiding them through the use of many different mediums, with interesting information about the natural world as the underlying subject. They have worked collaboratively on the painted trees in this exhibition, discussing the natural history of Brisbane, the importance of an ephemeral value such as shade, colours, shape ,form and most importantly, drawing skills! Megan’s idea is to be able to facilitate and form connections to local natural history and also to teach the skills, confidence, critical thinking ability, sound decision making to work independently as young artists. Being an artist is a skill to share and enjoy with others!
