INTERVIEW
/MEGAN HURDLE When she’s not looking after her kids or soaking up everything that Tennessee has to offer artist Megan Hurdle is in her studio creating beautiful art. From three dimensional pieces to large-scale works of art, she adds metallic elements to her work to give them an extra perspective. Talking about her family supporting her in her artistic endeavours, her grandmother who was also an artist and what inspires her. Megan sure seems like a Mom who has it all figured out. Was your grandmother an artist? Tell us a bit about her and the impact she has on you? My Grandmother, Kathleen Smith Moore was and is an amazing artist. She is 93 years old and still creates on a daily basis. Although she never showed her work for others to enjoy, her joy in life was to work in her studio. She taught me to trust my intuition and just dive into a piece head on. She encouraged me to try acrylics,
oils, water colour and pastels. It was up to me to figure out what worked and what didn’t. I had no idea at the time what a gift she was giving me. I have no doubt that my pure love of art came from her. What’s your preferred medium of choice and why? I don’t have a preferred medium. I truly love using so many materials.
