Megan Wakelam is an artist based in North Somerset, creating a collection of work largely inspired by the sea. She studied Fine Art at Plymouth University and has been developing her practice since 2015.

Wild swimming and coastal exploration are central to her life and deeply inform her paintings. These experiences bring clarity and creative energy, which she translates onto canvas in the studio.

Working predominantly in oils, Megan also explores a range of media and surfaces. Seascapes remain a consistent focus, with particular attention to the sea’s shifting moods. A sense of vastness and movement continues to drive her work.

Her paintings evolve with the seasons: softer, light-filled pieces develop in the warmer months, while more dramatic works take shape in winter.
