Bio:

Megan Frauenhoffer’s art is inspired by Surrealism and German Expressionism while also taking influence of modern illustrators and painters. Her main thesis study will revolve around personal narratives mixed with fairy tales and myths. The images are executed with mixed media techniques that incorporate printmaking, drawing, and the occasional collage. Megan is a MFA student at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, where she is expected to finish in May 2010.
