Megan fell in love with glass when she had an opportunity to apprentice for a glass blower when she was in high school. From this experience she decided to pursue a career in Glass. She attended Emporia State University in Kansas, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in glass forming. Upon graduation, she moved to Washington State to apprentice under Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen.
Working for Karen allowed Megan to explore color applications in glass as well as hot glass sculpture. It has also afforded her the opportunity to create strong ties with the Pilchuck Glass School. Most recently she was invited as a Craftsperson in Residence, gaffing work for the Artists in Residence and Instructors. Her involvement with the school stands to be one of the most influential experiences in her glass career. Pilchuck serves as a crucial vehicle of knowledge and connection to the vibrant glass community in the Pacific Northwest. Working with other artists truly fuels her passion to create.
