Artist Bio:

Reception: August 7th from 6pm-8pm

Pennsylvanian artist Meaghan Troup creates visual escapes using palette knives and oil paints on canvas. She received her BFA with honors from Roberts Wesleyan College, where she spent a semester abroad at Oxford University studying Renaissance art and architecture.

Described as simultaneously vivid and peaceful, Meaghan’s paintings include colors that reflect the vitality of life, textures that communicate the physicality of nature, and strong lines with open spaces that evoke a sense of freedom and hope. These qualities originate from her deep faith in God and a three-year battle with leukemia as a teenager - an experience that taught her to see the beauty in life regardless of circumstances. Inspired by nature, Meaghan believes that the splendor around us is one of the most amazing ways God touches us with His presence. 

Meaghan is deeply interested in the connection between art and healing and works with several nationally acclaimed medical centers to promote a curative environment via art. An award-winning artist, Meaghan’s work has been displayed internationally, and her paintings are included in both private and public collections within the US.
