Megan DiGirolamo

Although at first glance the viewer may think that Megan’s work only concerns the sentimental relationship between mother and child. But by looking deeper, other statements are seen. The child is never the passive monumental baby of countless religious statues, but a wriggling, pinching, moving child hot and heavy who at any moment will demand to be released to run away and play. Mothers never gaze at the child, but each is separate with attention focused independently.
Repeatedly Megan uses those around her, hoping to get close to capturing the living, breathing, reality.
When commissioned to do a portrait (often a double one) she looks for the unusual viewpoint or pose. Trying to capture a split second Megan talks to her subjects and observes their relationships. By knowing more about them, Megan hopes to get closer to their character and interaction.
Aswell as doing commissions, Megan also produces Madonnas for churches and cemeteries and believes that her most important work concerns world problems and the inhumanity of the human race. Often we are bombarded by images in the media of suffering and starvation and she produces artwork on this theme.
