For fifteen years, Shawn Meharg worked in the entertainment industry as a scenic artist and designer. In 2001, his focus changed to fine art. Accordingly, his work shows a diversity of style and subject, all involving the reflection and absorption of light. By subtle changes in context or the physical characteristics of an otherwise simple subject, Meharg aspires to elevate objects to symbols. Meharg's work is rendered with a focus on physical change over time, which may occur over many years or in a rapid moment, beckoning both an imagined past and an often-precarious future. Meharg’s works are in numerous corporate and private collections throughout the United States and have been exhibited in individual and group shows throughout the Southeast. Meharg was born in Ontario, Canada and received his BFA from the University of Mississippi. He now resides in Florida with his Wife Gina and their two Children.Meharg has been showing at Hillary Whitaker Gallery since beginning his fine art career.
