Education and Resume
Artist's Statement
In November of 1990, during a recording session for Godfather III, it began to rain—the first storm after a long LA
drought. In the words of Meg’s husband, jazz guitarist Jim Fox ,“We were headed home, westbound on the infamous
101 freeway. Little did we know that on the other side of an upcoming crest, a double tractor trailer semi was
beginning to fishtail across the highway. While it was still in motion, we barreled into it along with a half dozen other
cars.” The impact crushed two vertebrae in Meg's back, but thankfully the burst-fractured bone splinters just missed
reaching her spinal cord. Four years of physical therapy included a year of hand therapy to restore full range of motion
to her left hand, and after eight years she was able to fully give up use of a cane for walking. Throughout her recovery,
she turned to her love of visual art and discovered her true passion. She created a line of nationally distributed
greeting cards for Recycled Paper Greetings, and what began as a greeting card for a baby shower evolved into a
story, Meiying, Beautiful Flower—a fairy tale based upon symbolism found in chinese art and folklore. In 1999, travel
to the city of Gaomin in the Guangdong province of China to help bring home a friend's baby daughter inspired her to
create a Meiying, Beautiful Flower Book/CD giftpack and to perform a musical puppet theater version of Meiying,
Beautiful Flower in a number of venues including chapters of Families With Children from China.

It would be nearly a decade before this journey would lead to an awakening to the truth about the trauma of abuse
in her own childhood and she would document her journey of healing through the arts with the project
Of Nettles and Deliverance.

Meg was able to return to playing the violin
part-time in 1997. She began
touring with her husband, Jim, throughout
the USA, Canada, and Japan performing
with orchestras including The Henry
Mancini Orchestra and most recently, with
Frank Sinatra, Jr. and The Terry Woodson
Orchestra. Sinatra, a
true storyteller, stands alone as the last
remaining performer to work exclusively
with a full orchestra performing, in concert,
original arrangements of legends
including Nelson Riddle, Billy May, Don
Costa.

Today, concentrating primarily on her
love for the therapeutic power of the arts,
Meg remains commited to helping
childhood trauma survivors connect
to the healing power of their
own creativity through her blog,
Healing Through Visual, Literary
and Performing Arts.

She can also often be found on "the other
side of the glass" in the sound booths of
recording studios creating digital collage
for CD covers.
