Meg works out of her home studio in the vibrant Longfellow neighborhood of South Minneapolis. She loves bookbinding, mixed media painting and teaching budding artists of all ages and abilities.

Meg is especially drawn to old and broken books integrating parts of salvaged books into all of her work.
