Winning this competition will inevitably make into a better artist which is is my ultimate desire.

It is a very good art institution with reputable tutors who can definitely create fine artists.

Hello, I'm Megan. I grew up on the coast of Maine, surrounded by artists and living in an artists' mecca. Occasionally I would do some sketching, designed playbills in high school, and never considered it a serious endeavor; I was too busy with music back then, and frankly, thought that I could never be good enough.

Fast forward to my late 30's when I moved to Hawaii. Everything was so beautiful here that I couldn't capture it in words. I pulled out some colored pencils that I had for years and began to draw. I drew one of the parrots we had at the time and gave it to my housemate for Christmas and she said, "And you're not doing this for a living?" I received an easel for my birthday that year, and I've been painting and drawing ever since...

I have always attempted to draw portraits since I was very young. I completed a bachelors degree in visual arts in 2003 but the education did not involve learning techniques. Nevertheless, the arts theory education was very rewarding.

I'm the type of girl who adores learning and reading. Those two things helped me tremendously last year when I started drawing for the first time. My friends and family were very surprised when I started creating art because I've never done it before and they asked me why I never said I was good at it. The truth is I've spent TONS of hours researching online, reading blog posts, following artists on instagram and deviantart, watching hundreds of videos and saving thousands of pictures by other artists to study their techniques. I still have so much more to learn but I am so proud of how far I have come by myself...
