The Art of the Coast & The Soul of the Find

Hi, I’m Meg Link. I’m a classically trained oil painter with salty hair, sandy toes, and a permanent internal compass pointed toward the Atlantic.

While I now call Atlanta home, my heart remains firmly seaside. My formal education earned me a BFA in Oil Painting and an MFA in Integrated Design, but my actual education has come from chasing the horizon with a camera in hand, catching the ever-changing moods of the coast.

On my own canvases, I explore the in-between moments, the way light hits a cresting wave or the specific stillness of a salt marsh at dusk. But my passion for the coastal aesthetic doesn’t stop at the easel.

The Curation I believe a home should feel collected, not decorated. This led me to expand my studio into a curated gallery of vintage art and home decor. I apply my designer’s eye and painter’s heart to sourcing soulful objects, antique maritime sketches, weathered frames, and unique decor. Whether it’s a piece I’ve painted or a vintage treasure I’ve rescued, everything here is selected to bottle up that perfect beach pause that you never want to end.

Off the Clock When I’m not in the studio or scouting estate sales, you can find me running (I’ve finished over 18 marathons, so I’m used to the long game), digging in my garden, or chasing my dogs. They keep me grounded when my head is drifting toward the shore.
