Meagan Brown, "Abstractivity," Invite

Opening Reception: June 2, 7-10pm

Every person has a lot of facets of themselves. Abstractivity is a look at the blurred perception of the world and of myself, through my art and my bipolar disorder. I’ve found it difficult to focus on myself when my strengths have not followed the prescribed path. This show allowed me to follow my natural instincts and let the work guide me. Different subject matters, different techniques and different states of mind are all in these pieces.

Meagan Brown is a young, Winnipeg artist who has specialized in abstract art and jewelry design. Primarily self taught, Meagan has participated in the Arts and Culture Industries of Manitoba mentorship program where she studied under local artist Jordan Miller. She also completed a term at Artbeat studio as a start to her artistic career. Since Artbeat, Meagan has had three solo art exhibitions and a group show with fellow Artbeat alumnus Tara Davis. Her artistic career also includes teaching after school programs for Seven Oaks School Division and doing workshops for various groups including the Artbeat Studio alumni. Meagan has also developed a popular and successful jewelry business and has sold her unique designs across the country and all around the world. She credits her success in the arts community to her unique use of colour and texture, the interesting mediums she chooses for her jewellery, her interest in fashion and her overwhelmingly positive start with Artbeat Studio. Diagnosed young, Meagan struggled for many years with managing her mental health. Since beginning her career in art and design Meagan has had no major relapses with her bipolar disorder and credits much of this to the day to day satisfaction and joy she finds in her work and being able to share it with others. In the past few years, Meagan has enjoyed amazing opportunities to expand her market including shows in Japan and a celebrity gifting event in Los Angeles during the oscars. Primarily she’s spent most of her time at various comic conventions and exploring geek culture.
