For many years Meg was guest artist demonstrator at the Camberwell Herald Sun Rotary Art Show, one of the foremost exhibitions of its type. Meg taught painting for fifteen years at Box Hill five at Alexandra and was also a tutor for painting holiday tours in the Flinders Ranges and Grampians.
Meg's paintings have won many prizes and commendations, her work being represented in private and gallery collections, both here and overseas. Her painting "Highlands Road" was incorporated into the label adorning the bottles or Yea's vineyard, Rees Miller Estate.
In 1989 Meg was one of forty artists Australia wide selected by their peers to exhibit in a special Australian exhibition at The Mall Galleries, London.
Since 1968 Meg has travelled extensively and has painted in different parts of Australia. Overseas countries where she has worked include, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece as well as parts of Asia.
