Hi! I’m Megan,
the artist behind MS Fine Art Studio. I’ve been working professionally with colored pencils since 2009, developing a deep understanding of the medium and a passion for creating detailed, realistic artwork.
Growing up in my mom’s print shop, surrounded by calligraphers, bookbinders, and illustrators, I was drawn to the precision and beauty of realism — capturing light, depth, and fine detail on paper felt truly magical. That passion has stayed with me, driving me to push the limits of what’s possible with colored pencils.
With over 15 years of experience, I’ve honed my craft through dedication and a love of the process. My work has received national and international awards, and has been featured in American Art Collector, Fine Art Connoisseur, Southwest Art, and International Artist Magazine, among others. I also teach, write tutorials, and share insights through artist talks to support others on their creative path.
A Personal Approach to Realism
My artistic philosophy centers on capturing the unique beauty of each subject through careful observation of detail, color, and light. I'm drawn to realism because it honors individuality — revealing how even the most precisely rendered artwork is shaped by the artist’s personal vision. No two pieces are ever truly alike, because each artist sees the world through their own lens. Art celebrates that perspective and invites us to see the intricate beauty that surrounds us every day.
Students Reviews
Fatima
As a beginner, I adored Megan’s course—her teaching was clear, patient, and so beautiful! The lessons took me from basics (like pencil control) to advanced skills (blending, layering, textures) with easy step-by-step demos. It was seriously engaging! Megan’s passion shines through, and I finished feeling way more confident.
Rick
Megan’s colored pencil course exceeded expectations, offering a thorough exploration of materials, techniques, color theory, and the process of creating photorealistic images. I especially appreciated how she explained her thought process while drawing, reinforcing key concepts in a way that made them easier to grasp.

I love Megan's teaching style. Efficient use of time and words to describe the tutorials and how to proceed. These blending techniques seem so simple, yet they really are the foundation for the beautiful results we will achieve in the future and give us insight into her process. I am learning a lot.
