About Megan Dowsett

I am fascinated by books.  By stories, their illustrations and by their form – how far can I push the form before it is no longer a book?  Books are the means by which I both explore creative boundaries and express my personal journey.

I began to specialise in books eight years ago, making board books for and with my children.  At the same time I explored creative formats for a personal diary charting the experience of motherhood, recording memories on paper squares that are stitched into a ‘Memory Blanket’.

In recent years however, I’ve increasingly looked to the natural environment, seeking to nurture a connection with nature through participation work, and reflecting my own journey of discovery through artist books.
