Born in Perth WA in 1961 to parents Marjorie and Victor Bussey, Meegan showed a prodigious talent in art at an early age. At the age of five, her drawings were used in large murals in the city of Perth as part of an advertising campaign. She has studied graphic design at Perth Technical College and ceramics at the Royal Institute of Technology.

At nineteen Meegan studied Sufism at Diane Cilento’s school Karnak where she met and became lifelong friends with Barbara Blackman. Meegan and her husband later lived at ‘Indooroopilly’ located on the Berry mountain in New South Wales, which was Barbara’s ‘University in the bush’, for a year.

With her marriage to artist Trevor Sellick, Meegan decided to support her husband in his career as an artist. She worked primarily as a life model and book illustrator before getting a ‘proper’ job at a major bank in 1999. 

Meegan has had one solo and three group shows exhibiting paintings, pastels, prints and ceramics. In 2013 Meegan was struck down with an incurable rare neurological disease that left her permanently disabled and ended her career as a Change Manager in the bank. 

Without work to distract her, she started to draw again, though restricted to short bursts of creativity due to her condition she turned primarily to watercolour that allows her to produce small works. 

Illustration continues to fascinate her and painting images that make the viewer smile, or for children, is something that she gets great pleasure from.

Meegan currently lives and works in Melbourne Victoria.
