Megan Whitmarsh

Los Angeles based artist Megan Whitmarsh grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, and, like many of her generation, uses the visual noise of her youth as inspiration.

She works in a variety of low-tech media including drawing, comics, stop-action animation, hand-embroidery, and soft-sculpture and strives to synthesize an optimistic vision of the future with the detritus of modern life. She has shown in Iceland, Belgium, Hong Kong, Korea, New York, Los Angeles, Japan, Italy, and Spain.

Q&A

What motivates you? I don’t know exactly. I have always liked making things. I grew up without TV and maybe that helped me to look inward for entertainment. Making stuff is like daydreaming in 3-D. Any wise words of advice? Be true to yourself and only make what you want to make. Good topics for party talk? I am out of practice… Favorite things to do when not creating? Playing with my daughters, gardening (especially fragrant flowers & herbs), eating, cooking, and reading. What would the ultimate job be? Well being an artist is pretty nice…
