Megan Bynum seldom resembles a stereotypical small-town girl. She grew up in Brownwood, Texas and attended school in Early ISD. Preoccupied with academics and grades, she began to search for a new defining facet of her life, participating in track and tennis, but her calling was in the performing and visual arts.

 

During her freshman year of high school, Megan started doing theatre productions on and behind the stage. She eventually realized that she found belonging among people that had a hunger for creating atmospheres that transcend audiences beyond their reality and experiences. Storytelling became her primary expression to the world, enabling her to connect with people and share various concepts.

 

Theatre was later accompanied by visual artistic expression as Megan enrolled in ceramics. Building three-dimensional pieces further allowed her to discover her personal intrinsic convictions and her connections to others. The hunger for producing work increased as she developed craft and conceptualization skills. This compelled her to search for a collegiate art program.

After researching and visiting numerous college campuses, Megan settled on Stephen F. Austin State University because of her immediate draw to Professor Eden Collins and her infectious passion for sculpture. Invigorated by the development of her artistic style and voice, she continues to make work and attain skills in craftsmanship, conceptualization, and more.
