Megan Broadmeadow was born in Manchester and lives and works in Colwyn Bay, North Wales





Megan Broadmeadow is a multi discipline artist, working in sculpture, installation, performance and painting. Her work explores aspects of British identity through the use of pastimes, landscapes, objects and characters. She also works with themes of leisure time, the great outdoors and landscape.


Megan creates objects that represent the area that they come from, either that of a community, object, landscape or other intangible identity of a town or village. Often incorporating performance within her sculptural installations, Megan’s work retains a playful and incisive glimpse into the idiosyncrasies and quirks of what it means to be British.


Broadmeadow studied Sculpture at the Slade School of Art, and graduated in 2002. Since then she has exhibited and performed in Wales and England. She also works as an associate director for Cynefin Theatre Company.





Recent Exhibitions include: Real Writers residency, G39, Cardiff; Wish You Were Here? Oriel Mostyn, Llandudno; Theatr Freuddwydion, Residency, Galeri, Caernarfon; Young Wales, Royal Cambrian Academy, Conwy; White Noise, Mile End Ecology Centre, London.

Mae Megan Broadmeadow yn artist amlddisgyblaeth sy’n gweithio ym maes cerfluniaeth, gosodiad, perfformiad a phaentio. Mae ei gwaith yn archwilio agweddau ar hunaniaeth Brydeinig drwy ddefnyddio difyrion, tirluniau, gwrthrychau a chymeriadau. Mae hefyd yn gweithio â themâu amser hamdden, yr awyr agored a thirluniau.


Mae Megan yn creu gwrthrychau sy’n cynrychioli’r ardal y maent yn dod ohoni, naill ai’n gymuned, yn wrthrych, yn dirlun neu’n hunaniaeth ddiriaethol arall mewn tref neu bentref. Mae gwaith Megan, sy’n aml yn cynnwys perfformiad o fewn ei gosodiadau cerfluniol, yn dal gafael ar gip olwg chwareus a miniog i hynodrwydd a chwiwiau’r hyn y mae’n ei olygu i fod yn Brydeinig.
