Meaghan Claire Kehoe is a full-time emerging mural artist and painter based in Oshawa with community connections across southern Ontario. Her public street art pieces can be experienced in Toronto, Kitchener, Waterloo, London, St.Thomas, Simcoe, Aylmer, Brooklin Thorndale, and Bayfield.

 

Public Art

  With a fascination toward human psychology and the inner strength to overcome human pain and challenges, Meaghan’s draw is toward representing female strength, depth, resilience and confidence. Meaghan employs symbols from nature, especially to tell a human story that is universal and yet personal to her own. Her works are about connectivity, inclusivity, and awareness. With intense expressive colour, splashes of realism, and punches of geometric shapes and collage, her beautiful aesthetic draws you in. However, it is the prideful subject who welcomes and invites you to stay.

 

Private Murals

  In the private realm, Meaghan has created murals for Starbucks, Food Basics, Green Press Inc., Brickworks Cider House and more. She has a talent for listening to each client and understanding their visions for a colourful and welcoming space the best highlights their goods and services.

 

Paintings

  Meaghan has shown her acrylic, oil and aerosol paintings at the Artist Project Toronto three times and has exhibitted as well at many smaller venues. In June 2023, she will exhibit her DUO show called "Lemon Meringue Pie" with artist and mother Dianne Kehoe at Maison Depoivre. The collection celebrates generational artistry and the sharing in the process of abstract painting.

 

Education

  After specializing in Illustration at Sheridan College in Oakville, Meaghan completed her French Honours Degree at Wilfrid Laurier University culminating in an exchange term in Tours, France where she studied Figure drawing at François Rabellais Université. Her passion for language and travel has enhanced her style and treatment of the human figure, injecting spontaneity and surprising twists on classic subjects.
