Exclusive Interview with Megan Menzies : Inside the Creative Process, Career, and Life as a Painter

This week, we're thrilled to bring you an exclusive interview with painter Megan Menzies. In this interview, Megan shares insights into her creative process and the themes in her work. The paintings capture uncanny moments, focusing on ordinary scenes that carry a melancholic, dreamlike atmosphere.

Drawing, especially with charcoal, is a crucial part of Megan's process, allowing her to quickly visualise ideas and develop narratives. A recurring motif is the blushing cheek, symbolising emotional vulnerability and the complex relationship between feeling and expression.

The work often has a cinematic quality, using oil paint layering to explore storytelling, memory, and the act of looking. Through these techniques, the artist aims to convey the emotional depth of the moments they depict.
