Whimsical Acrylic Paintings

A love of art since childhood – specifically drawing and painting – and the inspiration provided by her aunt, Faye Dixon Bennett, are powerful motivations for Megan being an artist today.  Since her teenage years, she has enjoyed creating whimsical acrylic paintings. Although Megan is a self-taught artist, she has gleaned considerable knowledge from her college years at the University of Montevallo.

With three to four days of work ahead of her, Megan begins a project. Each painting is created on canvas, tin, or particle board using acrylic paint. All of Megan’s materials are purchased from local and regional art supply stores. She remarks that her reward for each completed painting is to see the appreciation from others for the art she has created.

Her paintings are also available at the Alabama Heritage Foundation in Thomaston, Alabama.
