Born on 7/7/77, Meghan Oona Clifford enjoyed a sense of magic early on. Following dreams of enchanted forests to the West Coast, she graduated from The Evergreen State College with her BA in Interdisciplinary Art. Clifford worked in various underground art spaces in the Pacific Northwest and Southern California, curating events and connecting artists. After several years as a designer in the eco-fashion industry, she earned her MFA in New Genres Fine Art from the San Francisco Art Institute.
Recently, Clifford was honored with the Develop Grant from the Arts Council of Santa Cruz County. Additionally, California’s Center for Cultural Innovation has awarded three grants in support of her work. She exhibits work nationally and throughout California, including at the New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU), the Museum of Northern California Art (MONCA), San Francisco Art Institute's Swell Gallery, Fort Mason’s Herbst Pavilion, 1AM Gallery, Club 6, Tribe 13, and 111 Minna. Clifford has participated in several residencies such as the Thrive Together Artist Network and Artist/Mother residencies. Her work has been featured by MTV, Studio Visit Magazine, Artist, Mother, Proud & Serious, The Art People, The Utne Reader, iCanvas, Bored Panda, Content Magazine, Meditation Talks, Visionary Art Collective, and Women United Art Magazine. Clifford's art is enjoyed by private collectors around the world.
She lives and works on six acres in Santa Cruz County, CA with her husband and two miracle babies. Every day they wake up and say "Good morning, we are blessed."
