Artist Bio
Born in 1983, Megan Van Deusen showed an early affinity for art. During the numerous moves throughout New England she experienced as a child, art provided comfort and continuous friendship. The passion for art remained with Megan once her family settled in the countryside of Connecticut. There she was blessed with teachers that both exposed her to the greater art world and facilitated her technical advancement. It was at this time that she became exposed to her early artistic influences, including Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, and Henri Matisse.
In 2001 Megan left Connecticut to attend Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where her art education continued. However, due to dissatisfaction with her education, Megan left Pratt in 2003. During her departure from the educational world she did extensive traveling throughout the East Coast. She is now located in Atlanta, GA.
Megan is a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina at Asheville, having earned her Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in the summer of 2009. Her work has been and continues to be included in exhibitions with the Blood Dumpster Art Collective in New York City. She has also shown extensively in her area, including a shows at The William King Regional Art Center, The Cabarrus Arts Council, and Theater Art Galleries. Additionally, Megan has been accepted to the graduate program at Georgia State University where she will be earning her Master of Fine Arts.
