Megan Ward is a UK based Fine Arts Artist, with a Mixed Media Fine Art degree from the University of Westminster. Her study saw her pursue her desire to create pieces identifiable to her artistic style yet appealing to the masses. Having come from a background where art wasn’t the most accessible form of creativity, Megan found herself recreating what was around her, constantly capturing family members, magazine covers or whatever she could find. These experiences were what sparked her love for portraiture.

Megan is constantly working on pushing the boundaries of traditional portraiture by distorting the face while keeping it identifiable.

Inspired by artists such as Jenny Saville and Francis Bacon whose works are able to portray real and identifiable emotions through manipulation of face or body in a dramatic way yet still keeping it recognisable. Megan’s artistic process involves taking images a step from reality by either experimenting with textures, brushstrokes or using different mediums. Her recent focus on how colour can change and how a portrait is received, delves deeply into the psychology of colour. Whether she can use her works to provoke a reaction or capture attention are key components of Megan’s work.

The Winter Collection

‘A portrait or figure painting is something that you can relate to or it can be used to encourage an emotional reaction. I believe that art should be available to everyone and if my artwork cannot only be an escape for myself but someone else too, I will continue to create works like these.’
