Megan Dominescu

Megan Dominescu employs traditional rug-hooking and knitting techniques in daring and sharp social commentaries on contemporary lifestyles as shown in the ubiquitous advertisements online and on the streets.

Born in the Netherlands to Romanian and American parents, Megan grew up in Washington, D.C. and later moved to Bucharest, Romania. Megan's clashing background is a strong inspiration in her practice.
