“Sarina Homes is partnering with Megan Jentsch to bring a colourful energy to the collection of 74 condos and cityhomes. The partnership was a natural fit given Jentsch’s talent for activating spaces — her work can be seen at some of Calgary’s premier retailers such as Holt Renfrew, Village Ice Cream and Maison Simons. Plus, with her former studio located steps from the new homes, Jentsch could harness her love for the neighbourhood”……..

“Numerous other Calgary artists are also represented in the new Simons store. Megan Jentsch took to the outdoors to paint two huge graphic murals which appear on vinyl wall coverings for high traffic areas in Twik and Djab. A new portrait (Poet #2) from internationally recognized Chris Cran will also live in the store”….

“Black wood-panelled walls and black marble tile are broken up by the retro powder blue-tiled bar, topped with a brass counter. Brass is also found on solid wood bench seating, which tucks beneath a large-scale abstract painting by Calgary artist Megan Jentsch”…..

“Additional works of art – including a portrait (called Poet #2) by Chris Cran and a large graphic mural by Megan Jentsch – round out the bold interior-design strokes”….

“One of the highlights of the session was to be able to collaborate with and integrate artwork by renowned Calgary artist Megan Jentsch as a backdrop for the images.

We happened to be visiting Voltage Creative Garage and saw a huge brand new piece of artwork that Megan had just completed. There are times when you see something and it stops you in your tracks and for us this piece of work was one of those moments”….

“This weekend (July 16-17) Megan comes home to Oliver to create a large-scale mural on a specially constructed wall at her folk’s winery, C.C. Jentsch Cellars.

This Saturday and Sunday, between 10 am and 8 pm Megan plans to create two works on a 64 x 8 foot wall using acrylic paint, and black ink on wood panels.

Mural #1 will be a study of line work and mural #2 will be quick bursts of abstract forms. The finished works will be photographed in sections, digitally reassembled, printed on canvas and readied for exhibition later this year”…..

“This is the 14th Simons to open in Canada since the 177-year-old retail giant from Quebec City began its ambitious cross-country push. And if you are familiar with Simons, you’ll know this is a company that loves art. As a result, the retailer commissioned local Calgary artist Maya Gohill to install a three-storey painted mural which runs along the escalators in the Lancaster Building. Elsewhere, Megan Jentsch took to the outdoors to paint two huge graphic murals, and a new portrait (Poet #2) from internationally recognized artist Chris Cran will also hang in the location”……

“I met Megan Jentsch recently over coffee and had the privilege of discussing her current installation up in Holt Renfrew Calgary. Mixing fashion with art couldn’t look better with Megan’s opulent pallet, the colors pop off the canvas and accentuate all the fashion around them. While planning these paintings, Megan said she worked specifically with the mood boards of the seasons with the brand the paintings would compliment. The overall results are nothing short of fabulous. Hat’s off Holt Renfrew, who has strayed away from Gallery art, in finding Megan who brings the aesthetic of the store into one cohesive rhythm”….
