I finally got my hands on a copy of the July/August issues of Somerset Studio magazine – it took a little while to find a Barnes & Noble near me that restocked their Somerset Studio magazines with the latest issue.
I was pretty excited to see that they featured three of my collages – “The New York Diner,” “Commuters,” and “Sunset in the City.”
It definitely made my day seeing my work in print. It’s times like this that make me feel grateful and excited about being an artist.
Anyway, I’m off to work on planning a few future collages. I’ve been bad about working on studio art since life has been crazy busy these days, but I’m hoping to start up a few more projects somewhat soon.
My artwork is featured inside Somerset Studio magazine’s July/August issue – in an article called “Painting with Paper.” Wanda Edwards, another paper collage artist, is also featured in the article. Somerset Studio is a national magazine that focuses on paper crafting and mixed media art. You can order a copy online through Stampington & Company’s website, or you can swing by your local Barnes & Noble and pickup the magazine at the newsstand. Below is the table of contents from the issue.
Today I found out about a German site called “Create or Die” (sounds like a design/art spin off of Will Ferrell’s “Funny or Die”) that’s featuring me as “Künstler der Woche,” or “The Artist of the Week.” Above you’ll see there’s a black box that appears when you scroll over the image of my artwork that they posted. Here’s a rough translation of what it says: “First the American-born Megan Coyle was primarily devoted to painting, but eventually she moved on to make collages. A good decision, for the artist’s work is so colorful that it could almost have been wielded by the brush of an impressionist.”
