THE ARTIST

 Like many self taught artists, Meg Matson has not followed the easy path. Learning through trial and error, experimentation has become the norm rather than the atypical.
Her father was a salesman for a large paper company and Meg always had stacks of various papers at her disposal. Since she never had to be conservative with her use of paper, her artwork often resembeled science experiments more than art. Items from the garage and kitchen often found their way incorperated into imaginative works. Today those same techniques are no longer considered abnormal and have found their own category of "Experimental" in prestigious shows.
 Although she has studied traditional oil methods through books, classes, and workshops she preferes to not have her non-representational works influenced by others. Finding it more exciting to develope her own style she works daily to discover ways to keep her art fresh and energetic.
 Meg`s work has shown internationaly and is held in many corporate collections.
