Meghan Hanson is an architect and artist sharing time between the Bitterroot Valley of Montana & Teton Valley Idaho. After attending Stevensville Highschool and college in Bozeman she moved to the Teton Valleys of both Wyoming and Idaho to work as an architect.
In 2008 she started Natural Dwellings Architecture to design custom residential homes with a focus on energy efficiency, sense of place, and building science. Simultaneously she and her sister Kathleen started Hanson Illustration and have worked with a wide variety of clients from the Forest Service to private developers in creating hand-drawn/painted images. She has traveled extensively, always with a journal, and has illustrated several local and international trips. In 2013 she moved back home where she lives with her partner Mike in a net-zero energy home (she designed) on property conserved by the Bitterroot Land Trust. In 2022 Meg and Mike took 3 months to run across the United States and Meg documented the trip through her sketchbook. Other journal illustrations include China, Iceland, Bali, Europe, India and the Camino de Santiago, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Tetons and many others. Meg has a passion for creating art. Most often this is through painting, but she is also an avid knitter & sewer and has dabbled in everything from jewelry making to basket weaving. She believes that taking time to experience a place through creating art helps to know the place, as well as document it in a unique way to remember and share with others. Meg is often found scheming up some travel plan with Mike, running around the country, or foraging in the mountains always with an eye to document it through painting. https://meghanhanson.com/ [email protected] 307.690.6618 |
