Megan MacDonald is a multi disciplinarian artist located in Kelowna British Columbia, Canada.
MacDonald is drawn to natural and organic forms, the energy of hand-drawn lines, and the alchemy that occurs with the convergence of natural elements. She was drawn to encaustics due to its beautiful depth and luminosity as well as the myriad of possibilities the medium offers. Although she continues to explore a variety of mediums in her art practice, her focus is primarily centred on encaustic .
An award-winning artist, MacDonald’s work has been in juried exhibitions both regionally and nationally and can be found in numerous private collections around the globe.
MacDonald continues to work, show and instruct out of her studio the Crow’s Nest in Kelowna, BC.
MY SUBJECTS ARE DRAWN FROM MY IMAGINATION
and their flowing lines are helped along by the music I listen to while painting.
My inspirations come from direct contact with my family and the world around me. My confidence with the use of bold colours and flowing brush strokes echo the dynamic sounds and movement of my immediate environment: the wind in the trees, water over rocks, the laughter and buoyancy of our young daughter.
My creative process is simple but by painting bare-foot, I let the painting take me where it needs to go. Each canvas contains the repeated use of recurring shapes in nature, creating a hypnotic rhythm and a sense of movement long after the music has stopped.
Locally and internationally recognition has been growing for my work. My works has been shown in U.S.A. ,Italy , Japan and Canada.

Julie has been my hair stylist for 18 years, since the first day I met her when she did my hair for grad. She does a phenomenal job with hair cuts, hair colors and on creating unique and beautiful updos for special occasions. She takes the time to make sure your hair is perfect. I drive all the way from the upper mission to go there and it���s definitely worth the drive! At this point, I feel like I���m going to see family when I go. Both Julie and Julia are so nice. I highly recommend going!Read more
