Artist Statement ~ Megan Duncanson
I am a self taught contemporary artist, living out my dream of being able to create beautiful art as a profession. As long as I can remember I have been drawn to art and have always had a pencil or brush in hand.
I am constantly trying to find my own unique space in a sea of artists. It is a daunting task, but I think with my new style of art, as seen on the pages of this website, I have finally found MY place. It's exhilarating and inspiring to define a style that I can grow with and explore all matter of subject and color.
I have endless ideas spinning through my mind, but not enough time to put them all on paper or canvas; such a shame life is so short, but, I am trying to make the most of what little time I have to express myself artistically, and reach out to others with my art. I am a highly prolific Artist and produce literally thousands of paintings and designs in a single year. The more I paint the more prolific and creatively inspired I become.
I draw my inspiration from nature and everyday subjects around me. Living in one of the most remote places on the planet, the Bush of Alaska, as well as tropical paradise, Hawaii and Florida, has allowed me to use many different aspects in my art to inspire me. It can be trees, boats, birds, vibrant sunsets, water, palm trees, cities, martinis; anything I see around me can be used to its fullest extent to draw the viewer into each piece and provide them with an enriching and pleasurable experience. I strive for my art to have an element of surprise, and at the same time, effect each person on a personal level with elements that they can relate to from their own life-experiences.
My goal as an artist is to bring happiness and joy into people's lives through art. If every time someone looks at my art and it makes them smile, I know I have achieved part of my dream and purpose in life to create "Art that Colors the Soul"™.
All the Best,
Megan
MADART Studios Surtex Show
Unfortunately MADART Studios™ won't be attending the Surtex show for 2011-2013, but will have Megan Duncanson's designs at the show represented through Next Day Art and Megan Duncanson's International Licensing representative Design Bank. MADART Studios™ will be returning to Surtex for the 2014 show with new designs and collections, visit MADART Studios in Booth 217
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My take: I often attended the Surtex Show in NYC as a designer for a company that is an industry leader in the trade home furnishings marketplace. The show is enormous, and it would take several days to take in all the booths. Oftentimes, I would ask studios to come to the company's design offices to show their work rather than buy it at the show. We never wanted our competitors to know what we were buying. I knew many of the designers since I would see them every year at the show. One year I was startled by the complete transformation of one of my favorite designers. She laughed when she saw my expression and explained that she was wearing a wig that she had bought at an online wig store that offered a great sale on the latest Raquel Welch wigs. Not being a wig wearer myself, I didn't even know there was a line of Raquel Welch wigs. She then mentioned that they also had a beautiful collection of wigs for women of color which she was considering trying next. She actually pulled out her iPad and showed me several online stores that sold wigs from a dozen plus manufacturers. As a designer, she pointed out the differences in the various cap constructions of wigs. I was surprised there were so many: standard or open cap, a lot of variations on monofilament caps which are hand-tied in the mono areas, lace fronts which are also hand-tied, and there are wefted and partial or 100% hand-tied sides and backs. It seemed each wig manufacturer had a slightly different take on these cap constructions. Fascinating. She pointed out that most wigs are made with synthetic fibers. There are cheap wigs which look cheap. She said that she pays in the $250-$350 price range for monofilament lace front or double monofilament wigs which are more comfortable and look more realistic. I asked if she had any human hair wigs, but she said they were way out of her price range. Apparently, she started wearing wigs when she developed alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease where one loses a lot or all of their hair. It's been a rough year, but wigs have made a huge difference, especially the diverse options available, catering to all women including women of color. I sympathized with what she was going through and said her look was amazing, as of course were her designs.
Well, that was my anecdote about Surtex. Now to get back to Megan Duncanson's content.
