About megan
Megan St. Michael, artist
I began my creative life with formal training in photography and graphic art, and the lessons learned - light, shadow, composition, and design - inform my mixed media pieces now.
I pursue my artistic vision incorporating diverse media and approaches to using them. Beginning with the beginning in mind, the end result is a product of my ongoing creative thought and action process. I am intrigued with negative space which reveals patterns, cycles and the elementals that emerge from those landscapes.
A lifetime of creative endeavor is the thread that weaves its way through my career. I attended Vancouver School of Art, later known as Emily Carr University of Art & Design, and spent the next 15 years as a photographer and graphic artist.
I have never stopped experimenting and creating, painting, landscaping and anything else that caught my imagination. Now I have reclaimed my passion and have returned to the studio full time. I invite you to view my work in my online gallery.

The French poet, Antoine de Saint-Expery said, “To be alive is to be slowly born.” This speaks to me of the mystery of the creative process and the surprise of what emerges forth from the union of my heart, brain, eyes and hands. To be creative is to participate in the birth of the universe.
