Mama's Need to Paint, Too!
All of my life I have loved to paint, but it wasn't until college that I became professionally trained as a painter. I graduated from George Mason University in Fairfax, VA in 2015 with a BFA in Painting. I had a little experience with acrylics before school, but we were exclusively only allowed to use oils for the first two levels. After that I just became most comfortable with oils that I just stuck with it.
Only when I became pregnant with our first baby that I had to put down the oils, and decided to try to pick up watercolors because they're safer both while pregnant and around little ones. I'd be lying if I said I got a lot of painting done while I was pregnant... believe it or not, I didn't actually start painting with watercolors until my daughter turned 4 months old!
I found myself really enjoying watercolors, and a community of shoppers seemed to love them, too. I started making prints of my Outlander watercolors that are now best-sellers, and I started producing merchandise to go along with them.
I've picked up doing oils again, and you can see more of that journey on my Instagram and website. You can also subscribe to my free emails by visiting my website www.meaganrosedesign.art. There, you'll also see that I have become a certified Art Therapy Practitioner, where my love for art and good health merge and I'm happy to share with the world.
Thanks for all of your support!
