About
I’m Megan Gonyo, a multi-passionate entrepreneur interested in technology, marketing + branding, and neuroscience + psychology concerning how our brains can be re-wired to motivate us toward particular life outcomes. At the intersection of all of those things is a curiosity about life and how we perceive the world around us which influences the story I communicate to the world through my contemporary paintings.
Art has the power to communicate across language barriers, tell stories of inspiration, and create a deeper understanding of the human condition and one’s relationship to self. Those who express art have learned how to be authentically themselves, and they can teach others how to have the confidence to do the same. The world needs more artists.
