Megan Whelen is a graphic designer and abstract painter living on Salt Spring Island, BC. In contrast to the precision of her design work, her paintings are fluid and intuitive, an outlet where fluid dynamics and texture take the lead.

With contrasts and angles that reference Rembrandt, Megan strives to evoke feelings of gravity and reverence, like standing in the quiet depths of an old-growth forest. Her work explores themes of truth, nature’s intelligence, and collective awakening.

Rooted in the spirit of the New Sincerity movement, her paintings reject irony and embrace honesty, inviting viewers into a space of openness and hope.
