Meg Stoios is invested in complex narrative and visual language structures in painting and sculpture and has a highly technical approach to composition and mark making. The use of life models is integral to their work.

Using both figurative and abstract imagery, Stoios unpacks personal and shared traumas, revealing the psycho-scapes of interpersonal relationships.
