Meghan Sours

Meghan Sours is a representational portrait artist following the realist tradition. Ms. Sours attended the Columbus College of Art and Design and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BFA in 2008 before moving to Utah to apprentice under master artist William Whitaker until his passing in 2018. She has also studied at the Grand Central Academy in NYC and Studio Escalier in France. She works primarily in drawing and oil painting in an indirect method. Her paintings focus on the subtle narrative of human expression, to not only capture a mere likeness, but the singularity of the soul. Her work has been exhibited internationally. Accolades include a "21 Under 31" feature from Southwest Art Magazine, a purchase award and recognition from the Art Renewal Center and inclusion and cover art featured in "Strokes of Genius: The Best of Drawing." She currently resides in North Carolina with her husband and daughter and is beyond grateful to be a resident artist at East Oaks Studio.
