About
Megan Fatharly, a visual artist born in Edinburgh in 1995 and now based amidst the stunning landscapes of Cornwall. Her art transcends boundaries, weaving together diverse mediums to delve into the unseen and the overlooked, guided by her unique perspective as a neurodiverse individual diagnosed with combined ADHD. Her work spans collage, embossing, drawing, printmaking and writing.
At the heart of Megan’s practice lies her BA in Drawing from Falmouth University, which serves as the bedrock for her multidisciplinary approach. Collage, printmaking (including embossing and monotype), and writing converge in her work, each piece a tapestry of fragmented moments and subtle narratives. Megan’s fascination with collaborative making has led her to partner with esteemed institutions such as the V&A, The Body Shop, and Fortnum and Mason, where her creations have been showcased to acclaim.
Through her art, Megan invites viewers to contemplate the intangible, to piece together the whispers of existence that elude our grasp. Her exploration of portraiture through objects and everyday moments speaks volumes about the human experience, sparking conversations and connections that transcend the confines of surface.
Megan’s creative journey is marked by a string of exhibitions across the UK, from the bustling streets of London to the tranquil galleries of Cornwall. Her residency at CAST, Brickworks, in August 2022 further enriched her artistic vision, providing a fertile ground for experimentation and growth.
Not content with merely creating, Megan is a passionate facilitator and teacher, sharing her expertise through workshops both online and in-person. From Camden Arts Centre to Tate St Ives, her teaching engagements have empowered countless individuals to unlock their creative potential.
