My name is Megan Mahaney and I’m a fine artist who enjoys expressing myself through multiple mediums and subjects, ranging from large atmospheric textural abstracts to small vintage-framed landscapes. I create paintings to bring a sense of comfort and ease to the viewer and to give a place to rest from the busyness of everyday life. Using soft muted tones, I seek to evoke emotions of nostalgia, solitude, and a romantic vision of a simpler time. I’m inspired by the ephemeral and transitional moments that happen at dawn and dusk and my color schemes often reflect these moodier tones. Quiet, misty meadows and vast mountain ranges are often used as references in my work. I'm drawn to understated moments and find beauty in subtle details. This is most often reflected in my larger abstract pieces, where I use texture medium as a base and thin subtle washes to create gradual shifts in color. I am continuously evolving and find so much joy in experimenting— pushing the boundaries of what I know my art style to be. I believe art has the ability to speak to our souls in ways words cannot and I hope that those who view my work feel connected to the energy I am putting into each and every piece.
Thank you so much for exploring my work and supporting the arts!
