Megan Jefferson is an Indianapolis painter and has been actively creating work ever since receiving her BFA from Miami University in 1998. She has exhibited extensively, regionally and sells her work to designers and individual patrons. Megan’s work shifts in theme depending on the series. She loves to create pieces that have a focus on color-based abstraction. This fascination and innate personal connection to color is present in both her past and present work. Megan focuses on landscapes as a theme for her work. The broad area of color inspires her as she creates moods, visually. Each painting captures a moment in time and space that speaks to both imaginative and real places. Megan's recent work uses washes of color to create dreamy landscapes, coated in a glossy layer of resin. She describes the process of her work in this way:
I let the process define the artwork and describe my working process as a dance and conversation. I place down some color, and as certain areas and shapes evolve I will “answer” those happenings with additive or subtractive methods. This dance continues until each painting feels right. The result is thoughtful, intuitive, spontaneous and reflective.
