ART IS LIFE: A SHORT SERIES FROM GHANA

In 2004, Meg spent four months in West Africa doing an independent studies in contemporary African Art and working in a school in the capital city of Accra. During her stay, she completed a series of black and white and colour photos which culminated in an exhibition at the University of Oregon's Aperture Gallery.

EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES

This photos series is comprised of photos from travels to Italy, France, Czech Republic, Croatia, Austria and around the UK. Taken as both perspectives on historical landmarks and as metaphorical statements on Europe today, this series combines beauty, design and cultural study.

OBSERVATIONS OF AN AMERICAN REFUGEE

Titled as a statement on an Americans relationship with living in overseas and the complex emotions that go along with that, this series of photos from three years living in London documents various people and places around the city. This series was shown at Transistor Gallery in Chicago in August of 2013.

PORTRAITS

The portraits here document both important people in Meg's life in addition to capturing strangers in their day to day life. Forever a fan of situational photography, capturing people in their element, none of these photos were staged nor do they impart any bias from photographer to subject, working to capture people as they are, in their natural element.
