Welcome to my Studio!!
Wow!! I can’t believe I get to say that, “My Studio!” This has been such a long time coming, and an absolute dream come true to give my artwork a place it can flourish.
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Megan Long Konopa. I’m an artist, a wife, a mother, a homeschool teacher, homesteader and plant lover.
My love for art started as a very young child. I was five years old when my mom first taught me how to sew. You see my mother is a very talented textile artist and my dad a skilled woodworker. Together they built and outstanding business and even graced the pages of magazines. A lot to live up to right!
At a young age, I was introduced to macramé and other fiber art techniques. I took that and ran with it! Instantly getting many books from our local library and teaching myself how to make beautiful things. From there, I also worked to perfect my woodworking skills as well as hone into my love of fine arts. Coming from such a creative background, I knew that art would have a significant place in my heart and in my life.
During my toughest struggles, art helped me survive. Giving me a creative outlet & in the darkest of times, a light to guide me. After apprenticing under many talented artist, I attended college for art to lean into my talents and grow my skills. Although motherhood took a hold before I could achieve my masters, I do have my bachelor of art, as well as an associates in fine arts and business. In 2022 after deciding to homeschool my daughters and needing a way of providing for my family, I decided It Was My Time and opened the studio. Spending my entire life working towards this moment of being able to start my own private studio and share my love of art with the world, is such a heartfelt moment.
My passion for art is ever growing as you will find many styles of artistic expression coming from my studio. With a profound love of multidisciplinary art and a knack for interdisciplinary creativity, I welcome you to explore my world of artistic expression!
