Up until 2 months ago I was an art student. Yes, I am aware that I've never mentioned it online. Shocking move Megan. Being an artist is something I am very proud to be called. Creating art makes me so happy but studying it and being under all that pressure just got a bit much.

For the first time in a really long time (except for the work I did for my lecturers), I'm starting to paint again. It is such a good feeling to paint for someone else ME!

I'll be sure to put some of my work up soon... But for now I'll show you a couple pics of some paint my Grandad gave me that he used to use. It is ancient, he probably bought it 25 years ago. Antique? Love!













For those of you who have even the smallest amount of artistic ability, stop reading this and go make art - be it painting, ceramics, sewing, drawing, doodling, or just making random things. It's good for the soul :)

   Those pics are totally lush! That is so rad that you studied art. Happy to hear you're picking up the brush again:)

   Hello Megan, I enjoyed your reading about you as my daughter Ruby is also an artist studying fashion in Cape Town. You dont know me but I am researching the Wridgway family and want to know where you fit in. This Granpa that gave you the paints, who is he, and your dad? My Dad was Robert Albert Wridgway, whos dad was William and his father was Albert. Megan could you please ask your dad and then contact me on dolores.coullie@gmail.com
   Megan, I love your style
   looking forward to hearing from you or your parents, Dolores
