Introspection

Born on 7/7/77, Meghan Oona was blessed with a sense of magic early on. She made art since she could hold a crayon.
Following dreams of enchanted forests to the West Coast, Meghan Oona graduated from Evergreen State College with her BA in Interdisciplinary Art, then earned her MFA in New Genres from the San Francisco Art Institute.
Her work has been featured by MTV, Bored Panda, The Art People, Pool Tradeshow, Surrender to the Flow, PhanArt, Lip Magazine, White Apricot, Carve Out Time for Art, The Utne Reader, Eco-Chick, iCanvas, We’Moon, Content Magazine, and Meditation Talks. Her art is enjoyed by private collectors around the world.
She lives on five acres in Santa Cruz County, CA with her husband and two miracle babies. Every day they wake up and say “Good morning, we are blessed.”
” I am an interdisciplinary artist experienced in video, sound, animation, installation, eco interventions, textiles, and computer art. Painting is my true love and the foundation of my practice.
My work explores energy, movement, and consciousness. With personal and ancestral history steeped in textile work, I like to think I’m painting the fabric of the universe.
I weave colors together with a biomorphic, freestyle painting technique. I work with acrylic on paper-mounted wood panels, and I use animation to enhance the 2D work with hypnotic, mesmerizing energy.
I’m interested in illuminating and activating those little moments of enlightenment we all have – a sudden feeling of wholeness, a glimpse of awareness, a memory of our interconnection, or a release of emotional pain.”
