About sisterdarling:

SisterDarling, a.k.a. Meghan, is a Pop Surrealist painter based in Auckland. Her art is hugely influenced by all the 19th century literature she devoured as a kid, as well as her father's Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies, Disney and Hayao Miyazaki Betamax collection. That, combined with her present day interests which include tattoo culture and street art, all influence her work. She's currently exploring themes of migration, constraint and transcendence in her narrative works.

She's never felt at ease with any of the other traditional art movements until she discovered Surrealism and Pop Surrealism, halfway through art school. The works from that movement hit her hard and there was an immediate understanding that this genre was in alignment with her voice.

She exhibited last May on a collaborative show Metonymy 2009, and was chosen as one of the Single Artist Wall artists to exhibit at this year's New Zealand Affordable Arts Show. She also took part in Crossover's launch and group show last August, and will be part of 2 more major shows end of this year. Graduating from The Wanganui School of Design, she also works as a Graphic Designer. She mostly paints in Acrylic on wood.
