The Heart Behind Colorful Minds
A lifelong artist and passionate educator dedicated to helping every student find their creative voice.
Megan
Art director & Lead Art Instructor
Los Angeles, CA
Artist. Educator. Founder.
Megan is an emerging artist from Los Angeles, CA. She began taking art lessons and learning Art History at just 6 years old — and painting quickly became her favorite form of media to work with.
After graduating with a BA and Master's Degree in Illustration from CSUN, she pursued a career in painting, building a freelancing career creating pop surrealism oil paintings in saturated, bright colors. Her work was shown at numerous art shows throughout the Los Angeles area, where she had the opportunity to collaborate with many talented emerging artists.
In 2020, Megan began teaching art to children of all ages. She moved to Arizona with her family and continued her teaching career at BASIS Chandler before founding Colorful Minds Art School in Gilbert.
My teaching philosophy is to encourage students to tap into their own unique artistic talent and provide them with the tools to express themselves.
