Megan Klco Kellner is a Michigan-based artist, poet, and educator who explores what it means to live consciously through images of her home and family. She holds an MFA in Painting from Kendall College of Art & Design and a BFA from Truman State University. Her paintings have been exhibited nationally. She is currently a Visiting Professor of Painting at Grand Valley State University. I am interested in depicting the quality of my attention in the places I love. As a painter, I am equally drawn to the messy, chaotic environments that often characterize my life with children, and the rare, luminous moments of stillness which feel flooded with meaning and light. Informed by observational painting, I use images of my home and family to playfully explore color, composition, and the arrangement of pictorial space.
