About
Megan Kellie is a writer, painter, illustrator, actor and other things based in Santa Cruz and Chicago.In 2012, during a meal out, Megan's friend admired a horribly boring painting of a cow and threatened to buy it. Megan protested that she’d paint her a cow instead and for an upcoming birthday five years later, did just that. The only problem was the first cow that she painted was also boring. So she painted a second one in a suit, just to make herself laugh. Then she decided to paint 12 and have an exhibit. But due to not knowing how to do that, there was a lag until this moment now, where these paintings can be seen live and in the flesh at the lovely T. Salon & Gallery in Chicago's Ravenswood, across from The Perfect Cup."Dressed Meats" is because that's what these cows are, but also way too often what it can feel like to be a person. Both are absurd.Art-wise, Megan illustrated Someday a Bird Will Poop on You for Little Brown, painted for 111 Portraits of Berwyn, made signs for The Wasteshed, and the poster for Showtime's "Work In Progress" Sundance Film Festival debut. She is the kind of person who really remembers the scented pencils.Many thanks to Teresa and Kassi at T. Salon & Gallery, Laura McKenzie for setting it all up, Sue Salvi for the show title, and Heather Skomba for art directing.Photos by @wencphoto, @prezpipe and some by Megan.
