Biography

Megan Sekulich (oonsaalamoona) is a Myaamia artist. She graduated from Miami University in 2022 with a B.F.A. in Studio Art, focusing on printmaking and fashion design. Originally from the Chicagoland area, she currently resides in Cincinnati. 

Megan strengthened her understanding of her Myaamia identity and heritage throughout her undergraduate career. She worked at the Myaamia Center as a student intern: creating graphics, curating art exhibits, and mentoring other students on cultural education and appreciation. Following her graduation, she joined the Myaamia Center in 2023 as a graphic designer. Megan now serves as the in-house artist for the center, working on a variety of culturally informed art projects for the Myaamia community on and off campus. She also works as an Art Coordinator for the Eewansaapita summer programs.

Her personal artwork often focuses on the themes of growth, confusion, and acceptance regarding her identity as an Indigenous person. Megan hopes to promote the awareness that native artwork and native peoples are contemporary through her work with the Myaamia Center and Miami University.
