Introducing Megan Fatharly: The Artist Behind Our Isle of Skye Tin Decorations

If you're a fan of Òr, there’s a good chance you’ve spotted Megan's beautiful work, whether browsing online or visiting us in-store. We've been proudly sharing her pieces with our customers for some time!

Born in Edinburgh and now living in Cornwall, Megan blends traditional techniques with modern artistry in her work. Her creations are full of texture and depth, with each piece reflecting her unique and playful approach.

Growing up by the Scottish coast, Megan developed an appreciation for the simple beauty in everyday life, something that she celebrates throughout her work.

After graduating in 2018 with a BA in Drawing from Falmouth University, Megan focused on printmaking, combining embossing, collage, and drawing to create layered, tactile artworks. Megan works alongside Rose and Rachael in her studio in Cornwall, where they help bring her creative ideas to life. 

For Megan, the printmaking process is not just a method but a source of solace, offering a meditative space to slow down and focus on each deliberate step. 

Most recently, we had the pleasure of collaborating with Meg on a special project to create the Isle of Skye embossed tin decorations, a collection inspired by both Megan’s love of nature and the beauty of Skye.

The combination of Megan’s artistic talent and a shared love for Skye results in a collection of decorations that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.

Working with Megan was an absolute joy. Her enthusiasm and creative vision made the project stand out. Each decoration showcases her attention to detail, with textured hand embossing and finished with a frayed silk ribbon.

 

We’re delighted to feature a range of Megan’s other creations here at Òr. Her greeting cards, such as Monochrome Chair and Window by the Sea, highlight her delicate linework, while her vibrant risograph prints, like Sea + Machair and It Comes and Goes in Waves, offer dynamic, textured designs. Her embossed works, including Ginkgo Leaf Breathe, beautifully captures the beauty of nature in all its glory.

 

We love sharing Meg’s work with you. Her designs embody the power of collaboration, creativity, and artistic connection, which are at the heart of Òr.

Take a closer look at her creations here. We’re sure you’ll fall in love with them, just as we have.
