Megan Olson is an abstract painter whose practice has evolved over the past twenty years between the fine art world and the culture of graffiti. Drawing from modernist traditions and the improvisational energy of street-based mark making, she has developed a visual language rooted in abstraction and automatic gesture. Olson is currently the Chair of the Archives Committee for the American Abstract Artists.

Throughout the fall and spring semesters, the Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series welcomes a diverse group of nationally and internationally recognized artists working across traditional, hybrid and emergent disciplines. Join us to explore and expand boundaries of creative visual practices alongside others with an interest in contemporary visual art.
