MEGHAN CATHERINE DRAGON
Mystery ranch featured artist in residence 2026

Meghan Dragon is a Las Vegas-based artist and educator whose work highlights the patterns, textures, and interconnections of nature with a particular focus on the native flora and fauna of the Mojave Desert.

Through murals, paintings, and drawings, she invites viewers to slow down and notice the details of their surroundings, encouraging a sense of wonder, appreciation, and a deeper commitment to conserving the world’s wild spaces. 

Her art has been exhibited nationally, with pieces currently on view in Las Vegas and Reno, NV; Sunrise City, FL; and Pacific City, OR. She is a recipient of a Project Grant for Artists from the Nevada Arts Council and was selected for the 2026 Clark County Public Arts Temporary Public Art Project. Meghan has participated in residencies at Aviario Studio in Portugal, Great Basin National Park in Nevada, and the Hive in Spokane, WA.

Her current collaboration with the Mystery Ranch involves the careful study of plants found at Avi Kwa Ame National Monument, which will culminate in a coloring book celebrating life of all seasons in the desert.
