On today's show Austin artist Megan Jaster with host E. Mickey Peavler. Orginally from Central Texas, surrounded by a farm and the inherent forces of nature, she was a contemplative observer. Thus began a life time of visual expression based on what was whispered, listening for the subtle yet powerful. She has exhibited exstensively in Austin Texas. On the international front, she was a part of a touring exhibition of Neo Symbolist through Eastern Europe. Her style is an evolution of traditional and digital techniques. This provides a rich palette of options for images that incarnate depending on what is to be explored.
