Read the full review here - http://vibewire.org/?p=534437 ABOUT MEG Meg is an artist, soul adventurer, sometimes teacher and warrior of the female kind. Previously an art therapist and university lecturer, Meg now aims to change the cultural conversation that silences sexual assault victims and prevents them from finding tools to help them survive. Meg is the artist behind A Drawing A Day, a creative project born after her firsthand experience of sexual assault in Mexico. The project, recently exhibited at the Corner Cooperative in Chippendale, is a response to the limited resources available to survivors of sexual assault. Currently Meg is continuing her one drawing per day, looking to create a creative refuge that offers resources to survivors of sexual violence and designing the upcoming clothing label She.
