Meghan Weeks is a representational landscape painter who has worked and exhibited on Nantucket for over twenty years. She joined the Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) at age 14, becoming one of the organization’s youngest members. Drawing and painting through her adolescence, she studied Architecture at Yale University and Museum Curating at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. After graduating, she entered work in the cultural heritage field in the U.K. and later in Boston, continuing to paint and show her own art professionally. In 2022, she decided to pursue a full-time career as an artist.

An enthusiastic plein air painter, Weeks begins most of her pieces outside and on site, working in all seasons to capture the experience of observing the built and natural landscapes of New England and beyond. When she returns to the studio, she uses information gathered outdoors to refine smaller paintings and develop larger works. She believes that painting the world as it is today documents the human imprint upon our landscape, and our ability and responsibility to protect it.
