This painting is of my favourite place to sit on Dartmoor. I love trying to capture the movement of the water, although the shadows from the trees are proving quite tricky! 🌳🌳 #fineart #original #graduate #graduateart #meganwalsh_art #makingartwork #artistsoninstagram #youngartist #workinprogress #landscape #painting #oilpainting #dartmoor #view #nature https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdMGe2H9le/?igshid=blhf96jg7doy

Here you can see the stages of a drawing I did as a birthday present for my mum. I’ve really enjoyed creating this portrait so far, especially as I used to find drawing hair so tedious! #drawing #pencil #petportrait #present #personal #dog #fineart #artist https://www.instagram.com/p/CGFAOz4HDcv/?igshid=1a0lg23q196ax
Started something new, haven’t done a landscape since before university so I’m excited to paint something different! #fineart #artist #painting #oiloncanvas #landscape #sky #clouds #realism #experiment https://www.instagram.com/p/CCsqd-6HwqN/?igshid=qp80k33mm8gp
This is a sample of the timeline I created to document the research I was gathering about my grandfather’s life from beginning to end. #research #timeline #memory #family #life #postwar #german #soldier #relationships #art #youngartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CCqMDSmHgfe/?igshid=b6gvftti38t2
More layering using the last photograph ever taken of my grandfather, his passport photograph for the renewal of his passport in preparation for his trip to Germany. He hadn’t been back to Germany to visit his family since he returned from being a prisoner in England, he sadly passed before the trip and never got to return home. #fineart #artist #drawing #layering #fading #memories #history #family #heritage #research #experimenting https://www.instagram.com/p/CAsia3RHpBY/?igshid=b87t7lak08gh
Using my audio interviews with family members, I created a flipbook containing the transcripts. I think it is important that one is able to read the dialogue, unedited to get more of a sense of the person’s thought process when recalling their memories. I learnt a lot from the interviews and I am proud to have been able to incorporate my German heritage by featuring the German written word, as spoken by my great-aunt.

This is a sample of the sound piece I have created, compiled of layering three interviews I had with family members to form the research, learning more about my grandfather.
Whilst both men went off to fight in the war, the women were left at home, not knowing if and when their family would return. I layered the drawings on top of each other according to when each member was separated from the family. The less prominent layers have a faded appearance and begin to fade into the background, just as memories do over time. I feel this works well to tell the story of my German ancestors.
This was the last photograph ever taken of my great-grandfather before he was taken by the Russians. At the time my grandfather was held in captivity in England, so he never saw his father again. I think this drawing captures his character of a loving and caring husband and father, simply a working class man who loved his family and then had the life he had built for himself taken away from him.
Close ups of Family Portrait, 2020, pencil on tracing paper. I think the softness of these portraits really capture that old photograph feel. My great-aunt and great-grandmother were the only two people who remained unseparated throughout the Second World War and always remained in Germany together.

My grandfather was part of the Air Force and later became a foot soldier during WWII. He was later captured and in prisoner in a work camp in England, presumed dead to his family back in Germany. As a young boy he was forced to switch from being left-handed to right-handed because it was the sign of the devil. In order to represent these forced circumstances and lack of choice in his life I restricted myself to drawing this portrait of my grandfather in his Luftwaffe uniform with my non-dominant hand. The struggle of even holding a pencil let alone attempting to capture a glimpse of a moment in his life was challenging. I definitely feel my right hand offers a softness to the execution of the drawing that my dominant hand doesn’t necessarily achieve. I am really excited to see where this goes as I will definitely be continuing drawing with my opposite hand, and experimenting with how else I can reflect his time during the war.

I layered this drawing of my grandfather over my research timeline that I made to record all of the events I had gathered from interviewing family members about their memories of him in order to illustrate his life chronologically, piecing together the gaps in his life that were missing. Layering has been a reoccurring theme through this project and I think the transparency of the tissue paper works well because the fragility mirrors the fragile nature of memories and how they fade over time if not preserved. #art #artistsoninstagram #german #heritage #family #memories #drawings #charcoal #research #timeline https://www.instagram.com/p/CAoNPQSHaBN/?igshid=1rxtr6izx2jag
More experimenting with layering the drawings according to the separation of my grandfather, as a German soldier, from his mother and younger sister during the war time. #fineart #artist #fading #memories #drawing #layers #portrait #family #wwii #history https://www.instagram.com/p/CAim67NH5KD/?igshid=vw9k9ocw7lux
After getting in contact with my grandfather’s sister who still remains in Germany, I was able to have access to the last family photograph ever taken, in 1943, that survived a house fire. This drawing of my grandfather in his Luftwaffe uniform is just a fragment of that photograph. This was just before he fought and was captured as a prisoner of war in WWII, aged 20. #fineart #artist #germansoldier #memories #family #research #drawing #portrait #exhibition https://www.instagram.com/p/B-aWmQVHKwL/?igshid=11cx3dzw6pj7u
Here is a time lapse for the timeline I have pieced together using information I have gathered about my grandfather’s life from various family members. I never knew him and I am especially interested in his involvement in the Second World War and the time period where he was missing in action, captured as a prisoner of war. I have really enjoyed the research and having the opportunity to reach out to family members who I have never had contact with up until now. I am excited for what else is to come from this project. #fineart #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #youngartist #plymouthuniversityfineart #timeline #timelapse #research #information #family #memories #stories #memorial #identity https://www.instagram.com/p/B7EJo7wnxU5/?igshid=1ru4m6rgjp8g7
