Megan Mullenax & Crystal Vicars-Pugh

Megan Mullenax & Crystal Vicars-Pugh are ISU MFA painters. They recently had a show at the ISU University Art Gallery.

Megan creates scenarios that refer to war and bombs but includes such things as rabbits with blue-tooth devices. She also has prints satirizing some of the fear tactics which have become part of the "war on terror". The world of war is turned on it's head.

Crystal Vicars-Pugh has developed a style where she creates abstract natural forms which are painted over, "veiled". This creates a layering effect and a sense of depth and curiosity about what is hidden. Shapes and colors - recently she has been experimenting with brighter colors and more obvious natural forms.
