One thread of her practice involves environmental concerns, the other focuses on how people express personal identity and history through the objects they make, gather and own.

Megan’s paintings, sculptures and combinations of the two are informed by her background in anthropology and archaeology, as well as a life-long connection with museums and their collections.
