Artist Statement: When I create, I approach the canvas as a mirror of my inner world. My inspiration often begins outside of myself, in the rhythms of nature, the energy of people watching, or the atmosphere of a vibrant event. Bright colors draw me in, sparking a dialogue between what I see and what I feel. From there, my process becomes deeply intuitive. I don’t plan each stroke in advance; instead, I allow my emotions to guide me, filtering through the canvas in layers of movement and color.
Art making for me is both expression and healing. When I am navigating troubling emotions, painting becomes a tool for release and clarity. In lighter moments, it becomes an outlet for joy and curiosity. Every piece holds a trace of that journey; a balance between chaos and harmony, vulnerability and freedom. Through my work, I hope to invite others into that space of reflection and energy. Each painting is not only a record of my process, but also an open invitation for the viewer to find their own meaning within the colors and forms.
Bio
Mahogany is an expressionist artist whose work flows from intuition, emotion, and movement. A South Carolina native, she has always lived a life infused with creativity; her talents span fashion, writing, singing, acting, and especially dance. Since childhood, she has studied a wide range of dance styles, including belly dance, jazz, ballet, hip hop, pole, and intuitive movement, all of which inform the energy and rhythm in her visual art.
Though painting was not her first medium, Mahogany began exploring it in 2020 as a personal outlet during a period of anxiety and panic attacks. What began as a form of self-healing quickly grew into a passion that transformed her life. That same year, she founded Picasso Meg LLC, turning her art into a professional practice.
Today, Mahogany creates original works, accepts commissions, and teaches acrylic pour classes that invite others to experience the same freedom and healing she found through painting. She also performs live painting, and dance experiences, blending movement, music, and color into immersive moments that captivate audiences and bring her art to life in real time.
