Sobre el Artista

Megan Vun Wong is from Canada and is an international, published, award-winning visual artist. A recipient of a number of Arts Council Grants, she graduated from York University in Toronto, achieving her Masters Degree in Fine Arts. Vun Wong was awarded the Gissur Eliasson Scholarship and the Isbister Scholarship upon completion of her Undergraduate Degree from the University of Manitoba. A philosophical painter, Vun Wong has been painting for over 25 years in the Abstract Expressionistic genre. Her preferred medium today has been enamel paint which she gesturally applies onto her canvasses and, more recently, her unique plexiglass constructions. Her artworks speak of the vagaries, the vicissitudes of life while reaffirming the mystery that is life. Her present project involves work that pertains to the attainment and lifetime process of self-actualization.
