Based in Hastings and St Leonards, Megan Neville is an artist and practitioner whose work explores her experience of living with Type One Diabetes. Combining her skills with colour and texture, Megan creates work about uneasy topics in her life and raises awareness of them. Trained at the Royal School of Needlework, Megan uses a range of hand embroidery techniques to create visually explosive designs. Colour is an important factor in her work, as she wants people who wear her products to feel unashamed about living with diabetes and to celebrate the small wins and battles those with the condition face. Through her work, Megan aims to bring the ‘mundane’ into a new light.

The artist was awarded the Friends Award bursary during her studies and has completed several live projects with creatives such as artist Susan Aldworth and the Alexander McQueen embroidery team. Megan also had the privilege of working on His Majesty’s Coronation in 2023. The artist has also participated in various competitions, including the Bradford Textile Society Competition and the Worshipful Company of Glovers Competition.

Since graduating in 2024, Megan has begun her MA in Museum, Galleries and Contemporary Culture, expanding her practice from a practical standpoint to a theoretical one. 

Megan has undertaken projects such as the 2026 Skill Share and other freelance projects, including workshops.
