Meg Miles
My name is Meg Miles, I grew up about 20km from Naracoorte, South Australia, on a hay farm. I was very fortunate to grow up with so much open space and freedom as a kid. I have 3 siblings who are all a fair bit older than me. This often left me needing to entertain myself, which is when I began drawing. I’ve always loved the process of creating art and have been experimenting more with digital art styles and 3D animation styles in recent months, which has been a big learning curve. I also love drawing traditionally in my sketchbook in my down time.
