Meet the artist
Megan Ruby Lee
Megan is an Australian printmaker living and creating on Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi Country on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
She has been printmaking since the age of fourteen and, while she has explored a range of artistic mediums, linocut printmaking remains her primary practice and greatest passion.
Deeply inspired by the natural world, Megan feels most at home immersed in wild places, where her mind and body are free to wander. Her work draws on the quiet magic and beauty found in nature—fleeting moments, expansive skies, and Australia’s unique native flora and fauna.
With a background in environmental science and conservation, her practice is grounded in a deep awareness of the relationships between people and the environments they inhabit. Through layered imagery and considered mark-making, Megan explores themes of interconnectedness, spirituality, and environmental care, reflecting on the entanglements between human and more-than-human worlds.
Drawing from the landscapes and ecosystems she spends time in, she transforms these experiences into unique, hand-printed linocuts created in her studio. Her work invites quiet contemplation of responsibility, reciprocity, and belonging, encouraging viewers to reflect on their relationship with place and their role in its protection, healing, and care.
With a particular focus on Australia’s diverse environments and native plants and animals, especially those under threat, Megan hopes each piece offers a sense of depth, beauty, and connection to the places people live in and visit.
Megan began exhibiting her work locally in 2021 and transitioned into a more consistent and intentional art practice in 2023. In November 2023, her linocut Habitat was awarded First Prize in the Biodiversity of the Sunshine Coast exhibition, hosted by ECOllaboration and Sunshine Coast Council.
In 2025, Megan designed and delivered Reflections, a collaborative group project and exhibition featuring 24 Sunshine Coast artists at the Arts and Ecology Centre, Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens. The exhibition was supported by Sunshine Coast Council and the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund.
Alongside her studio and exhibiting practice, Megan facilitates intimate group linocut workshops, creating welcoming spaces for participants to slow down, connect, and engage with hands-on linocut printmaking. She also brings strong skills in project management, co-design and collaborative processes, community engagement, panel facilitation, and public speaking.
She has delivered a wide range of programs using diverse processes and practices for over a decade, working at local, state, national, and international levels.
