Artist of the Week: Megan Moore

Join us at the Palmer Museum of History and Art as we feature Megan Moore, a Palmer-based self-taught artist whose work explores the beauty, resilience, and spirit of wildlife.
Working primarily in watercolor and acrylic, Megan uses art to tell meaningful stories and encourage viewers to see animals and the world around them from a different perspective. Deeply influenced by nature, life cycles, and the interconnectedness of living things, their work often highlights misunderstood animals while exploring themes of strength, survival, and transformation.
This week's exhibit is an ongoing series of watercolor and ink paintings featuring wolves as symbols of endurance and healing. Each wolf represents a different experience of trauma and recovery, bringing awareness to sexual assault (teal ribbon), child abuse (blue ribbon), and domestic violence (purple ribbon). The stitched ribbons woven throughout the artwork symbolize the healing process, reflecting how wounds can be acknowledged, mended, and carried forward.
Through powerful imagery and thoughtful symbolism, the series explores how trauma can shape us while also making space for growth, resilience, and hope. It serves as a reminder that even in life's darkest moments, healing can take root and something beautiful can emerge.
Admission is free. Join us in supporting local artists and experiencing this moving collection that honors both the challenges and strength of the human spirit through the lens of wildlife. 🐺🎨✨
