About

Growing up in Ontario, Maegan Garrett developed her creative spirit in the fields and forests of her childhood. Born an old soul, as they say, Maegan has always felt compelled to create. As a young adult, Maegan’s artistic skills were tolerated, even admired, but never really encouraged as a viable career path. For many years she abandoned painting; squeezing herself into the guises of devoted mother and successful career woman.

It wasn’t until her late 30’s that a series of transformative events led her back to her genuine self. Job loss, and a diagnosis of incurable, degenerative blindness, helped Maegan rediscover herself as an artist.

 Today Maegan lives and paints in the Yukon; a place she has called home for the last 25 years.  Maegan has studied fine art with the Emily Carr School of Art and Design, and with Indonesian artist, Tulus Warsito. Maegan is currently studying art therapy, with the hopes of helping others discover and explore their authentic selves.

As her ability to process images and colour changes, Maegan rejoices in the details of her visual world. Her art is inspired by the gift of vision, and the ability to witness light as it turns the skies, city streets, and the smallest of objects into repositories of beauty, magic, and transcendence.

 Maegan’s art can be seen in various private collections throughout North America.
