Salon Residency in Canal Place, Spring 2019

The Arts Council of New Orleans partnered with Canal Place Shopping to create a unique artists’ residency program called Salon, and I was fortunate to be one of the inaugural members of the space. It gave me the space and time to workshop new artwork for my upcoming show at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, May 31-Sept 1, 2019.

Luna Fete 2018 collaboration with David Sullivan

David and I were honored to be one of several groups of local artists asked to create unique projections for LUNA FETE 2018’s Gallier Hall site. Four groups were each given a season to loosely interpret, and we had Winter. Take a look at the projection documentation here.  

Dreamcatchers at the Louisiana Art and Science Museum, March 2018

“Egan’s digital blooms recall the long tradition of botanical art, or art that relates to plants….artists such as Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) illustrated all aspects of a plant’s form, from seedling to bud and bloom, not only to produce an aesthetic rendering but also a scientific record. Egan, by contrast, manipulates digital images of plant life in order to question how technology alters perceptions of the natural world.” – Elizabeth Weinstein

interview by Alex Kershaw

Alex Kershaw is an artist working toward an M.A. in art in Scotland, who contacted me for an interview as a part of  their degree requirements.  Wow!  A kindred spirit and a thorough documentation of the study and thought processes can be found at this site: https://alexkershawmajournal.wordpress.com/ Alex’s interview of me is found here, and an interview with another New Orleans artist, Michel Varisco! Thank you Alex! Your online journal is a great resource and your work is beautiful.
