Alderamin, Cepheus, and Nodus Secundus, 2021, Gauche, oil pastel and graphite on Rives paper, 20 x 26.5 inches (unframed)

Megan Prince: Communities 2020 - 2021

With the works on paper, Communities, Prince explores aloneness, solidarity and togetherness. In Communities, the artist plots soft graphite stars on the mixed media works behind organic black forms in oil pastel, signifying our immediate people groups, and semi-circles of blue gouache, representing our earth. Each element points to levels of togetherness; we are not only in community with each other, but connected across our world and in the larger universe too.

Listed under the “Art” tab starting today June 1, 2022; all 19 of the mixed media works on paper are listed here with the works that are already SOLD listed as NA. A few of the works from this series are framed (from my winter exhibition at the Kirkland Arts Center, Great Mysterious Heart), while the majority of the works are unframed. Please reach out to me with any inquires about adding one of my Communities to your own collection!

Thank you for your ongoing support,

Megan

"Through my love for you, I want to express my love for the whole cosmos, the whole of humanity, and all beings. By living with you, I want to learn to love everyone and all species. If I succeed in loving you, I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth. This is the real message of love." - Thich Nhat Hanh

Thank you for your support and love this past week!

What a week that was! My week long 15% off virtual art sale is over.

I raised more than $700.00 for Choose 180 and made the donation yesterday. Thank you for choosing to invest in change! As a result of your generosity young people throughout our community will have the chance to make their 180. Thank you all for helping me put our money where it matters most, in the hands of important ground-breaking organizations like Choose 180. Especially when they are lead by our black and brown family. They know best where the money can be used and how to get there.

Love Painting No. 46, gouache and ink on cotton paper, 6x8 inches, $100.

We all have a place and role to play in life. Each person is different. Each of us matters. Each of us is needed. My Love Paintings point to how each and every one of us needs and deserves love in our daily life, and we are needed by others. You are not alone. You are seen and loved just as you are.

Thank you for all of your emotional, physical, and financial support of my art practice! Lots of people will have new beautiful art in their homes soon to add beauty and so much more to their daily lives.

All the hopes and dreams,

Megan

EVERY DAY LOOK AT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU WITH DIGNITY featured in Life on Venus Magazine!

Hi Friends,

My art practice, and specifically my Jean Bodies sculpture EVERY DAY LOOK AT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU WITH DIGNITY, will be featured in an upcoming print addition of Life on Venus magazine exploring Sustainable Fashion. Life on Venus is a conversational magazine who aims to influence positive change by having open conversations.

As many of you know, I have been working on a series of textile sculptures, titled Jean Bodies, made from reclaimed jeans. The reuse of used denim jeans in my project speaks directly to sustainable fashion. People all over the world wear jeans and the style of jeans shifts every season causing them to be cast aside for the new style generating huge amounts of waste.

EVERY DAY LOOK AT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU WITH DIGNITY, 2018, donated and cut denim jeans, 4x36x150

Stay tuned for the print. In the meantime you can check out the magazine and what they are doing here. You can also check out their instagram and facebook. Enjoy!
