Megan Chambers
A true polymath when it comes to creativity, Texas born artist Megan Chambers started experimenting with makeup at a very young age. With her family's support, she explored many mediums in an assortment of creative fields; such as painting, sewing, sculpting, and even carpentry. By the time she was in grade school Megan was fully immersed in anything creative.
After graduating from high school she pursued a bachelor's degree at the University of North Texas in Technical Theatre where she studied all aspects of backstage work; including scenic painting, costuming, prop fabrication, and of course makeup. It was while attending North Texas Megan met a graduate of the Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program and decided to take her career one step further by pursuing knowledge in the world of special effects. Those she enjoyed every class, one of her favorites was the Fashion and Performance class where she incorporated her airbrush and body painting skills with her fabrication and costuming skills to create imaginative characters.
Megan has worked as a freelance artist since graduating, including projects with film and television, fabrication shops, and even a body paint and SFX makeup Instructor. She has built a portfolio with a wide range of fantastical pieces and can't wait to continue adding to it.
