Megan Rooney isn't your typical artist—she builds up her vibrant, abstract paintings layer by layer, then takes a power sander to them, creating dynamic textures and unexpected depth. Ahead of her new exhibition, she gives a glimpse into her chaotic, energetic process, where destruction is just as important as creation.

Editor’s Note: Rooney’s unconventional approach challenges traditional ideas of painting, blending meticulous craftsmanship with raw, physical intervention. It’s a reminder that art isn’t always about control—sometimes the most compelling work comes from embracing chaos. For anyone tired of sterile galleries, her process feels refreshingly alive.
