Artist Megan Chartier is a classical cellist creating ballpoint and ink artwork in between performances.
Megan Chartier, a classical cellist, creates musical illustrations between performances under the name Inkermezzo. This creative alias combines the words ink, her favored medium, and intermezzo, a short musical movement inserted between acts of a larger work. Searching for identity when performances halted in the early pandemic, Megan embraced musical artwork; she was still a cellist, even without a stage. Her illustrations focus on classical music education, awareness, and activism through realistic portraiture and detailed anatomical works. Notable collaborations include pieces with Hilary Hahn, CelloBello, the American Viola Society, and Strings of Latin America. Her most recent work is a collection of fifty-four portraits of classical composers, completing an entirely hand-drawn deck of playing cards. Megan lives and performs in the San Francisco Bay Area and holds positions as Principal Cellist of Opera San Luis Obispo and Cello Lecturer at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.
