Maegan McDowell was born in Auckland, New Zealand in the late eighties. Her biggest influences growing up were her mother’s passion for medieval décor and her father’s fascination with the natural world.

Throughout her teenage years and early 20's she focused on travel and wildlife photography where she explored Africa and became published in UK Magazine "Digital Photographer" with a four page spread. Yet Maegan had other subjects she started to explore.

In 2017 Maegan started studies in floristry, bringing home leftover flowers to create bodies of art that drew inspiration from the Renaissance period, creating a fine art collection which turned into her first solo exhibition "The Rebirth of Flowers".

A decade ago she had also turned her lens towards fashion and beauty, and today she fine tunes this passion with her new project ART MEETS FASHION Series focusing on 16-18 century styled portraiture reminiscent to aristocratic paintings with a modern twist.
