–Meet the Artist:Meghan Rose McDonough–

 

Q: What inspires you to create?

A: I am inspired when I need to release the demon out. Anxiety and fear are understood visually and this visual understanding of the tension we all sometimes feel along with the desire to break free keeps me sane when I paint it.

Q: Name an artist you are wow’d by?

A: I love Egon Schiele and Dawn Korpov

Q: When you create, do you typically listen to music, and if so what?

A: I listen to music 90% of the time, hmm…. Animal Collective, Radiohead, The Shins, Mumford and Sons, Kaki King, Bright Eyes, Alkaline Trio, Against Me, The Doors, Modest Mouse, The Bad Plus ahh a lot.

Q: Any recommended reading?

A: The Perks Of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.

Q: Are you an action, comedy or romance kinda girl, and what film would you then recommend? Of course you could also maybe be into documentaries?

A: Comedy – Anchor Man, the Mask

Q: We know being an artist is a lot of work, so what drives you to keep going?

A: There will never be a day where I will not feel some sort of strain or emotional commotion, therefore I will always be able to create the chaos that I feel

Q: Most entertaining/interesting/boring story from a previous show?

A: Saw an exhibition with three panels of just different tones of white… pretty darn boring.

Q: Best piece of advice you’ve ever gotten?

A: “It is ok to not want to be a realist, who want so see what we see in actuality anyway”

Q: Worst?

A: “Your paintings are too big, I would make them smaller.”

Q: How do you think the Internet has changed art?

A: I definitely love that finding new artists to get inspired from is so available with the Internet but there is that willingness to go to a gallery that almost seems be too strenuous for some because the Internet is so easy. The Internet lacks that personal face to face connection.
