Show Pony is the pseudonym of artist and sign-maker Meg Tait. Inspired by a life-long fascination with words, fonts, fairgrounds, Show Pony creates illuminated artworks & fairground-inspired signs, which are often fitted with lightbulbs and embellished with gold leaf. Alongside these are typographic prints, and wooden cut-outs featuring icons of popular-culture. 

Self-identifying as a ‘word clown’, Tait graduated with a First Class BA Hons in Fine Art from Nottingham Trent University in 2009. Her final piece saw her 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 sons, and is a practicing member of art collective Babes In Arms.
