Hello! My name is Meg Harrison Young.

This is my first exhibit. After graduate school I worked for 25 years as an Art Therapist with mentally ill adults. In the almost decade since, I’ve been a mental health counselor. Over the years, art making was a hobby, with long stretches of time when materials lay idle and dusty.

In January 2020, my terminally- ill twin, Martha, could no longer care for herself, and so moved in with my husband and me. Soon thereafter, Covid made sheltering in place another challenge.

Martha had art school training, and over the years had exhibited her work on occasion. Making art again would become a self-therapy and an activity we could share. And then, she passed in November.

The opportunity to exhibit at Booklovers’ Gourmet seemed an excellent way to first and finally show together.
