Megan M
Megan is someone who firmly believes anyone can do anything. As a child she made drawings for her parents, and once she found out people make a living selling their art, she asked her dad if he wanted to buy her drawing for one dollar. He said yes, and that he would buy more if she made more. The next day they were going for one hundred dollars. Infinitely ambitious since birth, Megan moved to New York City from Arizona to persue her career in acting, singing, and painting. She primarily works in oils and acrylics, mainly doing portraiture for commissions of loved ones and pets that passed away. Often placing them in events or memories that the customer wished they could've been apart of. No one ever told her growing up that there was anything she couldn't do, and now she wants to give everyone else she meets that same feeling.
