MEGAN BADGER
THE SKINNY
Megan Badger is a Fine Art Illustrator based in Saint Louis, Missouri. Influenced by Shel Silverstein’s playful illustrations and Albrecht Dürer’s studious attention to detail, she creates thought-provoking and mythical-like narratives via stippling, a process that utilizes numerous dots to produce an image, with fine-tip ink pens.
Combining significant detail with tension in space, she ignites intimate narratives inspired by personal experiences, dreams, and candid exchanges with strangers. Each work reveals a plot without exposing the finale. As such, audiences are more prompted to stop and analyze what is happening.
Badger graduated with a BS in Studio Art from the University of Southern Indiana, while holding solo and group exhibitions throughout southern Indiana, including The Dapper Pig, the McCutchan Art Center, PG, Penny Lane Coffeehouse, and Sortie. Her designs have been featured at the Azarian McCullough Art Gallery in Sparkill, NY, the Mail Art Project (Hope, Faith and Love) by Susanne Schumacher in Hanover, Germany, Saint Louis Art Museum’s Well + Green Newsletter May 2021 edition, VoyageSTL, Canvas Rebel, Artistonish Magazine, and Bold Journey Magazine.
Her artwork has been exhibited at Art Saint Louis, St. Louis Artists’ Guild, Soulard Art Gallery, Jacoby Arts Center, Cherokee Print Bazaar, Tom Hück’s Annual Holiday Event, Delmar Loop’s Flowering Artists Festival, The Gogh-Getters, Artisans in The LOOP, and the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art.
