My name is Meg. I was born in 1968 and grew up in a little town
called Maple Shade. I believe that I was born an artist. From
painting rocks and giving them away to all the neighbors and having
book signings for books I made and put together as a child, to
making a lot of my clothes in high school, my creative side was
always apparent. I held back on calling myself an artist or sharing
my paintings for a very long time because I felt as if I was not as
good as my peers nor was I as good as "real artists". One day it
changed. In 2006 I became physically disabled, and it was
debilitating mentally as well as physically. As I got stronger I
began to realize that I was an artist. I mean, everyone around me
already knew that I was a creative person, but now I had to be
strong and share my art, even if that meant I would fail. But I
don't know what "fail" means. I get joy and happiness from art. It
literally saved my life. How is that a failure? If it wasn't for my
husband; Joey, I don't know if I would have been so strong, so I
need to acknowledge him here. He believes in me. I also have an
awesome Mom; Peg, and two of the greatest sisters in all the world;
Kelly and Heide, who believe in me and inspire me. I share my art
and everything that goes with that on my youtube channel because if
I can make one person smile or bring joy or strength or happiness to
anyone...then I feel like I did my job. ART SAVES LIVES
