Meet Megan

I am a mother, artist and herbalist. I have lived in Oregon for almost 30 years and love all of the natural beauty this state has to offer. I enjoy teaching and learning about herbs and art in all forms in my free time. My favorite herbs to use are tulsi, rose and hawthorn for the heart. I can often be found in the garden and I grow a collection of flowers and herbs to use in art and herbal formulas throughout the year. Along with painting in gouache and watercolor, I work with a variety of fiber and paper art crafts and am always looking to collect one more way to make art!

Golden Heart Art came to be out of grief; it is about creating a way to heal and is a testament to the power of art. After the sudden and unexpected death of my boyfriend Daniel, finding quiet space to make art became central to finding my way back. Losing myself in an art project brought me a sense of peace that was hard to find anywhere else. It reminded me of Daniel’s curiosity and creative spirit. I wanted to find ways to share this feeling with others and thought up some craft projects to share with friends. I soon realized that coming together to make art lifted my spirits and everyone seemed to enjoy getting creative together! Golden Heart Art is powered by love & grief, community and creativity. Come make art with us!
