About the Instructor:
Megan Davies is an artist based in central Virginia. Her art is inspired by nature, traditional African art, and the small, often-overlooked joys in life. She balances unexpected contour lines with calming shapes and earthy tones.

Having lived in various places throughout the world, she often finds the common threads of contrasting cultures, tying them together in her art. No matter the inspiration or subject matter, Davies hopes to tell a story with her work and to visually connect the viewer to their personal experiences.

Megan was born and raised in Lynchburg, Virginia, and graduated from James Madison University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in painting and drawing. Her work has been exhibited in Virginia, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
