Early Life and Education edit

Work edit

Although she often takes personal attributes or historical events as a starting point, Cranston's work equally deals with the formal language of art and the role of the artist in helping us see the world in new ways.[4]

She is currently the Chair of Fine Arts at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles.[5]

She has exhibited internationally since 1988. In 1992 she was part of the Helter Skelter exhibition at MOCA, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and showed at the 1993 Biennale di Venezia.[1]

She is the recipient of numerous awards, including a New School of Social Research Faculty Development Grant, an artist grant from the Penny McCall Foundation, a Guggenheim Fellowship,[6] a faculty research grant from the Center for Asian American Studies at UCLA, Architectural Foundation of America, an Artadia Award, an ab Art in Public Places Award, and a C.O.L.A. Individual Artist's Grant from Los Angeles Cultural Affairs.[7]

Meg Cranston lives and works in California.[8]
