About Show Pony

 
 
  • Biography
    Show Pony is the pseudonym of artist and sign-painter Meg Tait.

    Inspired by a life-long fascination with words, fonts, fairgrounds (and a touch of kitsch), Show Pony creates typographic prints, and painted cut-outs featuring icons of popular-culture.

    Self-identifying as a ‘word clown’, Tait graduated with a First Class BA Hons in Fine Art whilst suspended from the ceiling in a horse costume, under the title ‘Well Hung’. This playful use of words has carried through into her practice as Show Pony.

    Show Pony lives in St-Leonards-on-Sea with her wife and their two young sons.
