Megen Leigh (she/her/hers)
Over the last several years I've been on a journey of self discovery through art. I have experimented with a variety of styles and mediums trying to find that one thing that defines me as an artist. I've come to the conclusion that I'm never going to stop evolving and experimenting. The journey is what keeps me going.
Watercolor painting was my nemesis. I was used to pen and ink sketching which can be very tight and controlled. Exploring watercolor has been an exercise in letting go of some of that control. I can just play, let the colors flow and blend, let things take shape organically. I’ve since come back to ink, and find myself trying to bring the flow and freedom of watercolor with me, which has been fueling my abstract work.
My pieces range from realistic to whimsical to abstract but all with an eye towards what’s hidden in the world around us. One thing all of them have in common is that they all started out from that mindset of experimentation, imagination and spontaneity.
