A Passion for Crafting Realism With Fiber

I’m Megan Cleland, a self-taught portrait artist who began my creative journey with pastels and watercolors. After spending over a decade honing these skills, I discovered the captivating world of needle felting in 2012, and since then, I’ve been focused on creating realistic portraits and landscapes using wool and other fibers. My work is driven by a love for nature and a passion for the rich textures and intricate details that fiber art offers. Each piece I create aims to not only capture the likeness of my subjects but also to captivate and draw the viewer in, showcasing the depth and lifelike quality of the materials I use. Every portrait and landscape is a reflection of my journey as an artist and my dedication to this beautiful craft.
