Art by Meghan Van Deuson

In 2019, I brought art back into my life. Art makes me happy, it’s relaxing, it’s therapeutic for my soul.  I am inspired by yoga, Tai Chi, acupuncture, and deep studying of manifesting all good things to come to fruition. Through God, I improve my self-concept, and I strive to be the best person, mother, companion, and friend that I can be. I learn something new daily, and I gain insight that helps me grow to appreciate everything life sends my way.

I started my art journey when I was 12 years old (probably even earlier). I drew in pencil a home on the corner of Main Street and Clinton Avenue in Homer, NY.  I did this for an art class in school.  My mom framed it for me, from that point on, I loved to draw… I even thought I might be an architect and design homes.  I didn’t; I became an Administrative Assistant for the dean at a local college.   

About these older pieces, my friend has coined the phrase: “Early VanDeuson work” (Said in an English accent--that always gives us a good laugh!)

The pieces you will see displayed in the gallery are a mixture of my newer pieces, along with a few older ones.  Many are available as prints for sale.  

I was motivated to keep my hands busy from not eating!!!  In 2017, I had weight loss surgery and have experienced A LOT of bumps along the way…  When looking through my portfolio, many of my pieces have gone to loving homes. I am working on building my portfolio online to share with the world. 

Every day is a new adventure, having three children, a full-time job at a local college for the past 23+ years, and a part-time job at a local restaurant for 2+ years. I am blessed to be surrounded by my supportive family and friends.  Through my art, I have learned to express myself, creatively and spiritually.  

I am thankful for my life.  Thank you for viewing my gallery today, and remember, when things get hard, 

"THIS TOO SHALL PASS" is a good motto to follow. (Thanks, Mom xoxo)
