finding beauty in the detail.

Welcome to the portfolio and life of Australian artist, researcher and teacher, Megan Spiers.

Megan Spiers painting en plein air on September Beach, South Australia

September Beach, South Australia.

I focus on the accurate depiction of subjects in their natural setting, from birds and trees to beautiful machinery at sea. The tools I use are brushes and paint, and a focused vision inspired by travel and research that captures the essence and the story.
