About me…

My name is Megan Rilat. I attended Herron School of Art in Indianapolis in the early 1990’s. While in art school I began my styIe of landscapes. The greatest influence are the modern painters of the 1980’s and the large paintings artists of that time painted. I love creating paintings that command the attention of the room. Making large, colorful paintings gives me the therapy I need after serving 20 years in the Army. I love other’s interpretation of my work. I believe it is important to allow others to find their own meaning of my work. I am also a third generation artist. My grandfather and mother painted realism. I am featuring them on my website and their paintings are for sale.

In American Implosion, the colors of the American flag are suffocated by the green greediness.

Wasteland 2023, 36” x 48”, Oil on canvas

This is Wasteland. It is 36” x 48”. Wasteland is my interpretation of loss and purposelessness. The landscape shows the dead ground and the fire that still burns in the center. Wasteland was designed to go off the page for the painting to feel endless.
