Who is the artist -Megan Maloney? Well the simple answer is that she’s not just an artist; she’s a storyteller. In her work she crafts visual narratives. Her process involves challenging perceptions and inviting viewers to see the world from new angles. Fueled by a relentless curiosity and a desire to make the world a better place, Megan’s art serves as a conduit for empathy, understanding, and connection.
