Brain Portraits
Megan is not just an artist - she is also a practicing Occupational Therapist who has spent her entire clinical career specializing in neurology.
Her “Brain Portraits” are a bold act of reclamation, using MRI images of brains with different neurological disease, but reimaging them to act as a tribute — colorful, bold, and proud — every story, every mind, every journey worth honoring.
