I am Megan Smallwood. I make art and give it away because I believe that art is for everyone.

Welcome to the

Free Art Adventure!

I love to Share art. I go on live art creation adventures, Create public works and give art away along the journey. These adventures have brought people together in amazing ways.

Art is about joy, beauty and communication. What better gift to give? There are a lot of exclusive ideas about art, that it is for the wealthy or has to have a deeper purpose, when the truth is Art is only what the creator gave it and, most importantly, what the viewer sees in it. I have learned that the joy of a gift can change a life. So I give as much as I can.



This website is one way for me to talk about my sharing adventures, connect those who have interest in my work. I take donations to keep these Free Art Adventures possible. Quality materials are expensive. Despite my recycling and conservation I can not keep making art without new supplies and tools. 

​

 

What do I do when I am not passing out art to the world or creating? I teach Ceramics, work as Kiln Master and teach art history classes to all ages at Decoy Art Studio in Beavercreek Ohio. Click the link below for more info on how to take an art class with me!
How did the Free Art Adventures begin?

I spent 7 years in college learning how to be something called a "Professional Artist". I got done with my BFA and I discovered that it had really distorted my personal take on art. I do not create art from a desire to make money. Art is a passion for life, science, creation and communication. So I have gone back to basics. I make things that have meaning and beauty, they come from my soul with only one purpose;  To share with others.


The other part of this that inspired me to give is that on several occasions in my life a complete stranger has handed me a gift, some of them incredible value. Those moments for me were magical and inspirational. Life Changing.


I give Art away because there is a very special thing that happens to both parties when there is a gift given. The act of giving is the greatest joy I know. And the delight in receiving can be a positive force in the life of another. 

Every donation I receive goes directly back into the creation and distribution of art work. In this way You show me that you believe in art, that it is truly for everyone!
Also take a look in my Gallery of Creations and support what you like so I can Share more!
