Artist Profile: Megan Jonas
Drawing, Painting
Megan Jonas is a Phoenix-born artist who delves into the richly creative spaces that exist where humans and nature intersect. Her Phoenix cityscapes are colorful expressions of the places where power lines meet saguaros, where palm trees meet alleyways.
Rather than shirk from the manmade, Jonas incorporates real and dynamic Southwest landscapes into her artwork in unexpected and beautiful ways.
Jonas primarily paints on location, where she can experience the sensory details of a place—the heat of the sun, the smell of the air, the grit under her feet.
"I have chosen to paint from life," Jonas notes, though she also incorporates studio time as a necessary and complimentary practice for her art.
