Megan Conley

Megan Conley was born and raised in Calgary, Canada where she completed her undergraduate degree in Painting at the Alberta College of Art + Design. Conley currently resides in Buffalo, New York where she is completing her MFA in Studio Art as well as teaching Creative Photography. Conley has been apart of exhibitions in Canada, the United States and Australia and will experience her first solo show this upcoming February 2014. Conley's work explores her self defining experience and facial and dental deformity and the correction process that was implemented over a ten year period. Currently, her photography is relying less on digital manipulation, and more on mixed media. Conley's latest series of work focuses on abstract contouring of the skull, topographic lines and mapping of the skin.
