Using overbeaten abaca to paint a sky fir my seasc Using overbeaten abaca to paint a sky fir my seascape painting. Abaca is a fiber from the banana tree. It is used to make riffing for sailboats as well as tea bags. I just love it’s velvety feel and strong fiber. #megblackstudios #abaca #sailing #sailboat #capeann #pulppainting #handmadepaper #womenartists #womenownedbusiness #paintingwithturkeybaster #paintingwithspoons

#archlovers I took this photo of #petereisenmanarc #archlovers I took this photo of #petereisenmanarchitect Memorial to the murdered Jews while I was in Berlin. Haunting work of public art that I admire the German people for supporting. Would like to see something of this grandeur in the US as a memorial to enslaved Africans.

It has aged well and makes me want to loosen up my brushstrokes. Back in the studio today to give it a whirl. #megblackstudios #pulppainting #seascapespaintings #seascape #womenartists #capecodart #capecod #handmadepaperart #abaca #cotton #amonthinpaper #northamericanpapermakers #paperartist #paperart #paperartistcollective

Deep Blue Wave represents a new direction I have b Deep Blue Wave represents a new direction I have been going in with my artwork. The colors and flowing waves are consistent with my collective portfolio, but I have figured out a way to unite multimedia so that the work is maintenance free and can be easily wiped down with a cloth for cleaning purposes, meeting new COVID guidelines for art in public spaces. #megblackstudios #artforoffices #commissionedart #wallart #sculpture #resinart

His daughter purchased this print of a Cape Cod inspired seascape for him for Christmas. He had it professionally framed. It is now in his office right behind his desk so people can see it during their Zoom meetings. I am so proud to see my work displayed so beautifully and grateful to the collector for taking such good care of it. #megblackstudios #capecodart
Biophilia is the idea of interacting with nature n Biophilia is the idea of interacting with nature no matter the actual environment-even an office interior. For artists and designers, this can be incorporating works of art that focus on nature into the work environment. One of my favorite natural subjects to focus on in my work are birch trees. The morning light streaming through the skin like bark of these birch trees allows for an inspiring welcome to those entering the work space. #megblackstudios #pulppainting #amonthinpaper #artforoffices #paperartistcollective #abaca #birchtrees

#amonthinpaper My favorite paper artist is Margie #amonthinpaper My favorite paper artist is Margie Hughto. She gave me my start when she hired me as her studio assistant so many years ago. I worked along side her as she made her beautiful abstract and colorful pulp paintings. I am eternally grateful to her for this opportunity. #megblackstudios #paperartistcollective #pulppainting #margiehughto
#amonthinpaper My dream collaboration project is t #amonthinpaper My dream collaboration project is to work with interior architects to create large scale pulp paintings for public spaces. My paintings are protected with a formula I’ve developed in my studio so they can be exhibited without glass. This allows the texture so special in pulp to shine through. #paperartistcollective #megblackstudios #pulppainting #papersrtist #abaca
