\"IMG_4547\"<\/a>Megan Capretta is a self taught artist whose work is diverse in technique, style and medium. Although primarily creating abstract and still life pieces, all of Megan\u2019s work encompasses a unique value that inspires thought, interpretation and optimism.<\/p>\n

Born in 1981, Megan was raised in Southern California until the age of 10 before her family moved to Columbus, Ohio. She moved to Akron, Ohio 15 years later where she currently resides with her husband Joe and their two sons, Gino and Angelo.<\/p>\n

Although currently not practicing regularly, Megan is also an accomplished hair stylist specializing in innovative cutting technique and color application. Her consultative and unique approach to client satisfaction has afforded her the privilege of working with some of the same clients since 1999.<\/p>\n

Whether she\u2019s taking brush or spatula to canvas, welder or grinder to metal, scissor or color to hair, or paint to oversized tarp for her children\u2019s next school play, the creative process and enjoyment others get from her work is Megan\u2019s true inspiration; an inspiration that helps mask the chronic pain she suffers from daily, allowing her to benefit from the healing power that art provides.<\/p>\n
