Inherent Beauty.
"We must free ourselves from our attachment to the external, for only then do we transcend the tragic, and are enabled consciously to contemplate the repose which is within all things."
Piet Mondrian.

 A scrupulous order governs the space fulfilled by light and freshness of her study. The high drawing table, equipped with three different illumination systems for the nocturnal work marks, with sober majesty the, place in where art happens. The kind treatment and the smooth ways of Meg Munro protect her powerful creativity and depth spirit.
Painting for her is the natural route towards the fullness of the being. "The fortune is in finding the route, whatever this one is; the joy is in journeying it ". The naturalistic subjects of her recent years have stood out to the landscapes and the human figure. Glass objects, flowers, fruits, snails, butterflies in chromatic intensity an vital opulence. “There is nothing as modest that it does not contain beauty”. In possession of an immanent curiosity, Meg Munro finds in the nature, at sight, the daily scenes unnoticed in the haste of days. With meticulous detail in drawing she captures them and it translates, then, to her personal plastic language in an introspection exercise in where the expressive potential of the color is deeply analyzed. "After the inner dialogue is silenced, which it remains, is the true essence..."
A polished hyper realistic style, with base in the technique of the watercolor, in where it is applied with sobriety and elegance the method of the color separation, invention of the great illustrative master of the American Golden Age, Maxfield Parrish (Philadelphia 1870-1966) whose works, like those of Norman Rockwell (New York 1894-1978) have exerted influence, perhaps, in the artistic vision of the author.
