Megan Bogonovich, Sculptor, Concord

Megan Bogonovich, originally born in Northampton, Massachusetts, lives and works in the capital city as an adjunct professor of printing and ceramics at the NH Technical Institute. She also organizes student exhibitions and maintains the institute’s ceramics studio. In addition, she teaches a wide variety of eight to ten week art courses at the Kimball-Jenkins School of Art. In exchange for working as the studio technician, the school allows her the use of a small semi-private studio space and equipment.

Venues throughout the United States where she has exhibited her work include the Guilford Art Center in Guilford, CT; the NH Art Institute; The Office Gallery in Huntington Beach, CA; Plymouth State University; the Archie Bray Summer Resident Show in Helena, MT; Feats of Clay XVII in Lincoln, CA; the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts in San Angelo, TX; the Clay Studio of Missoula in Missoula, MT; and at the University of California in Long Beach.

She holds an MFA in Ceramics from the University of Montana and received her BFA in Fine Arts at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. She has also attended Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY.

On the prospect of receiving a Fellowship, she says, “it would allow me to begin to create my own studio.” She is looking forward to getting her own kiln and wheel and creating a website to market her work. She also plans to work toward the goal of holding a significant exhibition of her work in NH.

Of her work she says, “The sculptures combine naturalistic and abstracted imagery to suggest the possibility of the real and the imagined cohabitating, a whimsical reality. Unusual growths, curious routes, unlikely pairings, strange predicaments, surprises and wonder, comfort in the unlikely.” She says she creates her sculptures in order to “question the safety of the environments and relationships we create. [The works] present scenarios about the comforts and limitations of our secure personal worlds…We are strongly motivated to seek out risk and change, while we wax poetic about our sweet homes.”
