I'M MEG!
I'm an interdisciplinary artist and stop motion filmmaker. I have exhibited and screened my work in galleries and film festivals across the globe. My collaborative project with Texas A&M Soft Interaction Lab has exhibited internationally and been featured in multiple publications. Through the creation of soft sculptures and stop motion animation, I explore the paradoxical relationships that exist within the aesthetics of cuteness.
I received my MFA in Visualization from Texas A&M University in 2019. In 2015, I received a BFA in Animation with a minor in Storyboarding from the Savannah College of Art and Design. During my time at SCAD, I was the General Manager of SCAD Radio. I went by DJ Nutmeg and had a weekly show called "John Cusack's Power Hour" that featured movie soundtracks and scores - something I am still passionate about! I am currently an Assistant Professor of Multimedia Design at Texas A&M University.
