Yellow Studio is pleased to present Megan Cedro: Meant to Be, June 24 to July 28, 2023. Cedro’s paintings consist of a muted color palette, perfectly complimenting the stoic nature of her figure’s deep gazes. The colors, figures and line work encapsulate the complex emotions of womanhood as Cedro draws from her own experiences. Using her background in fashion and makeup, as well as her love for nature, Cedro invites the viewer to reflect on the social and cultural factors that shape our everyday lives.
ABOUT THE ARTIST

Cedro’s work has been exhibited in galleries and shops in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Westchester County. Megan has a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design and worked as a MAC makeup artist for 6+ years in New York City. It was working as a makeup artist, when Cedro first started painting, using actual makeup. She then decided to pursue her art career full time and got her first art studio in 2009. In 2010, she exhibited her solo show at Yashir Gallery in Greenpoint Brooklyn with a sold out show. Megan continued to showcase and sell her works at various galleries all across NYC including Tria Gallery in Tribeca and Pierogi in Williamsburg Brooklyn, as well as privately. After moving to Bedford in 2017, she has exhibited with The Bedford Art Show and The Katonah Museum of Art Gala and Auction. Her most recent solo show “AMUSE” at CB Gallery in Katonah in 2021 was a highlight of Cedro’s Career, gaining several new private collectors in the area. With each new work, she continues to push the boundaries, challenging herself and her viewers to see the world in new and exciting ways.
