Meg Neufeld
Award-winning artist from Delta, BC
“There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”
– Vincent Van Gogh
Meg loves experimenting with different materials such as acrylic paint, paper, plaster, alcohol ink and jewelry to create one of a kind pieces of art. She draws inspiration from nature as well as from everyday objects, exploring a range of patterns, designs, techniques and textures.
For Meg, the art making process is just as important as the finished product. She uses a mindfulness-based approach in the creative process and uses this as a way to connect with herself and with others. Meg’s heart is to use art to connect with people. She works with people of all different abilities, those who suffer from chronic pain or mental health issues, at-risk youth, educators, organizations, researchers, and mental health professionals.
I want to make meaningful art – art that comes out of my own personal and spiritual journey – art that not only encourages others, but empowers them in their own journey through life.
