Megan Jacobs
Megan Jacobs is an artist based in New Mexico. Her work explores delicate relationships—our existence as material and concept, the interweaving between two partners in love, and the bond of parent and child. The materials that she works with: photographs, video projections, time-based media, textiles, glass, and ice, function metaphorically. Jacobs earned her BA from Smith College and an MFA in photography from the University of New Mexico.
Jacobs’ work has been featured in Musee Magazine, Lenscratch, Feature Shoot, Frankie Magazine, F-STOP Magazine, Fraction Magazine and other publications. Her “Hidden Mothers” series was selected for Critical Mass Top 50. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and has been part of exhibitions at Aperture Gallery, Blue Sky Gallery, The FENCE (regional), Saatchi Gallery (online), the Museum of New Art (MONA), Pingyao Photographic Festival, and the International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA).
Jacobs is an Associate Professor in the Honors College at the University of New Mexico and an Adobe Master Educator.
