About
Hi, I'm Megan Kellie, a writer, painter, illustrator, actor and other things, hatched in Chicago with time spent all over the country and currently living in lovely Santa Cruz, California.I started painting because a friend didn't realize the painting she wanted to buy was boring, expensive and awful. I insisted I'd paint her one instead. So I did, with notes of Van Gogh based on the cow from Chick Fil A, just because that was easy to google. Voila:
And then I thought: oh no. What have I done. This is far too serious for my wonderful and deeply fun friend. She needs to laugh at it. So I made her another painting, for balance. This time with notes of Pee Wee Herman, first dates, and corporate ID photos.
Aaah, that's better.That lead to painting a whole bunch more and branching out into new territory, like organs and words and landscapes.My first solo show "Dressed Meats" happened in Chicago at the T. Salon & Gallery. This is my second, and I'm a proud participant in First Friday Santa Cruz, at the Paradox Hotel, the only hotel I've seen with squirrel lamps.I also 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.Photos by @wencphoto, @prezpipe and some by me.
