BIOGRAPHY

Megan Little

Megan Little works with paper, wire and light to sculpt forms that delight the eye and invite curiosity. With a BA in Arts in the Visual Arts from Houghton College, and a Masters of Theological Studies from McMaster Divinity College, Megan combines her dual passions for art and theology in her current work.

Megan works, plays, and creates in Hamilton ON where she is serves with the Greater Ontario House of Prayer (GOHOP). She co-leads Asah: Creativity & Prayer Studio, a monthly gathering to explore the relationship between art, prayer and imagination.

Prior to moving back to Canada, Megan lived in Nashville, TN, where she served as President and sat on the board of the non-profit print studio Platetone, Printmaking, Book and Paper Arts. She taught numerous workshops at libraries, schools, and events with the non-profit Turnip Green Creative Reuse and also taught printmaking workshops for adults and children in the Nashville, TN area.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I believe that the richest and truest forms of art spring unashamedly from the soil at the center of a human being. The pulsing core of my life is not a solitary self-defined ‘me’ but rather a complex and beautiful friendship with my brother and the lover of my whole self: Jesus. My creative work is an attempt to give language to the great dance of love at the centre of my life; a humble yet fiercely determined act of visual and poetic storytelling.

My work also has a sense of playfulness and wonder to it, and I love to help people embrace their inner kid and encounter God in unexpected and unselfconscious ways. My impulses to explore, collect, and see the beauty in little things drive my inclusion of a variety of materials and found objects. I thrive in playful and experimental combinations of materials and techniques in ways I have not tried before or not seen others try.

Ultimately, my hope is encountering my work will make my audience curious and awaken their desire to encounter their Creator through beauty and in the joyful and messy act of creating.
