Welcome to

Megan North Art!

Hello and thank you for visiting my site! My name is Megan, and for as long as I can remember I've loved creating art, beginning in Kindergarten when I placed first in a coloring contest, to High School where I placed first in the schoolwide art show. I continued my art journey to the University of New Hampshire earning a Studio Art degree in 2011 (with an oil painting concentration). After spending many years working in the corporate world, I began missing my creative side. I started creating scratchboards and paintings for family and friends as gifts, which turned into custom commissions. I established Megan North Art in 2023.

Painting is a sense of meditation for me. Experimenting with colors and different techniques fuels my motivation and my passion. I consider myself a very detailed-oriented person, as you can see in my scratchboards. Painting is an escape and a chance for experimentation. I’m inspired by nature and fellow artists - there are so many wonderful and talented artists in this world, and I find that they motivate me to try different techniques. Its a trial and error process, but as I always say, you’ll never know until you try.

My scratchboards are inspired by black and white photos. My preference is to free-hand sketch the subject directly onto the scratchboard. My process for larger scratchboards includes; sketching the subject, tracing the image onto white paper, using transfer paper in-between the scratchboard paper and sketch, trace the subject with black pen onto both papers, with the goal of transferring the image to the scratchboard paper.

I’m always happy to create custom pieces upon request. Please feel free to send me a note if you have questions, comments, or custom artwork you would like completed.

I hope you enjoy!
