Meghan Dwyre is an artist based in Calgary, specializing in watercolour and occasionally painting in other media. She’s known for expressive floral and figurative work that observes moments of gesture and reflection.
Meghan began her watercolour journey in 2019 and has since followed a path of self-directed study, learning through workshops and mentorships with inspiring painters across Canada.
Her artistic focus often centres on figures and flowers, though her portfolio spans a diverse range of themes, reflecting her curiosity, versatility, and love of storytelling.
Through her work, Meghan explores form and movement, creating snapshots in time that invite the viewer to linger with the captured transitional moment.
She paints flowers for their honesty and transience, drawn to the beauty of a bloom just past its prime. Her figurative work, too, grows from fleeting human moments - small, introspective stories that might otherwise go unnoticed.
When she isn’t painting, Meghan can often be found gallivanting in the mountains in search of adventure, hard work, and good views.
Her artwork is held in private collections across Canada and United States.

Although the local mountains themselves do not feature heavily in my art practice, they do settle me and inspire me. The Rockies also allow me to take really beautiful photos, especially of flowers.
In the summer of 2025, my husband and I hiked the Great Divide Trail, a 1,200 km trail that runs from the US border by Waterton National Park to Kakwa Provincial Park, 300km northwest of Jasper.
Below, I’ve included a few photos of our adventures over the years.
