She is especially drawn to the challenges of shooting with black and white film. In addition to photography, Megan dabbles in other artistic mediums such as pencil and charcoal sketching, pastels, airbrush, watercolor and oil painting, and fiber arts. She has painted murals for York’’s Grocery and Baker Heritage Museum.
