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 outdoor environments where her mind and body are free to wander. Her work draws on the quiet magic and beauty found in landscapes, native flora and fauna, and fleeting moments in nature.
Through her linocut prints, Megan seeks to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the complexity and beauty of nature. Her work often invites viewers to reflect on their relationship with place, as well as their role and responsibility in its protection, healing, and care. Her background in environmental science and conservation strongly informs her practice, alongside a particular focus on Australia’s unique landscapes, native plants and animals, especially those under threat.
Drawing from the environments she immerses herself in, Megan transforms these experiences into unique, hand-printed linocuts in her studio. She hopes each piece offers a sense of depth, beauty, and connection to the places people spend time.
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 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.
