ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

MEET

MEGAN

CHAPA

Welcome to my art rebellion! I'm looking for more humanity in this AI saturated world. Creative art from my brain feels a little counter culture and is my own small protest against the AI monstrosities pervading our lives. Painting is also an act of imitation and obedience honoring my Creator if only poorly creating as he Created.

About Me

My Story

In February 07, 2024, I signed up for an introduction to acrylics art class that started that evening. I've been slowly painting as family life allows. It seems I have Layton onset, artistic abilities. My husband who is rarely wrong, says that he always knew it was in me. 

The animals I paint are real dogs, cats, and chickens.  The books are mostly real, and usually painted from the spines of first edition first printing antique books. 

Since I paint what I see you can piece together a small portion of what my daily life looks like. It's chaotic with a lot of fur, a lot of books and a lot of fun. I'm hoping these things resonate with you also.

My Mission

  • To fight old age and brain atrophy through creativity. 

  • To make something out of thin air and love what I've painted. 

  • For my children to have these pieces of me when I'm gone and know the story of each one.

  • For you to have a little more color and artsy vibes in your life because you bought art a human made. 

  • I want to laugh more because of the art I created. After all, a smile on a dog is something to laugh about!

Our Values

Creativity: Every item bares a design a human made. Each is a result of months of painting and refining. God Created and called it Good. I'm simply trying to mimic that example.

Dumb Art: No AI is used in my art creation process. I am a slow painter. My tech is slow, like, 0mph, No GB or RAM. It is the speed of a left handed snail that needs to constantly fix her smudges. 

Quality: We are committed to delivering high-quality products that our customers can cherish for years. I.E. Those puzzles are so nice you should really pass them to a friend once you are done!

Balance: To use this small business to increase my work/life balance. AND to literally keep the mountains of books in my house balanced neatly on their shelvess. Ha, ha haaaaaa.

Honest Business: You should know what your money funds.  Profits from the items purchased on this site underwrite my husband's Barnes and Nobel addiction.  It will also add support beams to our floors where the book shelves are… The book shelves are EVERYWHERE. 

Meet The Pack

Coal German Shepherd (GSD)

 

Coal ist ein sehr braver Hund. Er liebt mich und würde mir wahrscheinlich sogar beim Ausrauben der Bude helfen, wenn ich den Kühlschrank für ihn offen ließe. Aber versuch es bloß nicht selbst – er würde dir wahrscheinlich mehr als nur den Arm abreißen.

 

Coal really did steal a skeleton arm from his mom's Halloween decor in 2025. As we chased him the fingers kept falling off in the yard as he ran. He was very proud of himself and had a great time.

Bruiser Woods, Esq

 

You may recognize this sweet boy from his costarring role in the Legally Blonde Series. The photo above is from the original movie poster advertisements. My daughter is a songbird and fell in love with this musical.

 

I painted the Legally Blonde inspired piece for her and it is probably in her room getting laminated in hairspray fumes. Enjoy the insider knowledge jokes I included on the book spines.

Polly, Romanian Stree Rat

 

Yes, Polly the dog has a passport! We lived in England and many of the UK dog rescues partner with organizations in Hungary and Romania to rehome street dogs. We needed a Hobbit sized dog for our Hobbit sized house and we were paired with this affectionate cat-rat-gremlin.

Polly modeled for the first Books & Dogs painting. She had a lot of treats in the process. Don't worry we don't feed her after midnight.
