Canadian painter Meghan Hildebrand was grown in the Yukon, and went on to study art in Nelson BC, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Over the past 10 years, Meghan’s work has changed from simple and squarely structural to what could be described as landscape-exploded. This is the place where all her personal symbols have come to mingle and converse. Animal ghosts happily inhabit our ruins. Trees take root below basements, offering cities to the sky.
Meghan likes to work on multiple canvases, often replacing brushstrokes with collage, representing fragments of time and space. The acrylic & collage underpainting is finished with oil glazes. Her sunny Powell River studio is a tornado of paper scraps, paint, tools, books, sewing and music. Paradise.
Currently, Meghan has put the wooden panels away in favour of large-scale canvases, and a new series is emerging. She has recently discovered the endlessly versatile medium of clay, and a show featuring her sculptural pieces is in the works.
Meghan’s work is collected world-wide, and is available in galleries across Canada. Mayberry Fine Art in Winnipeg, Only Human in Victoria, The Bay in Vancouver, Casa de Arte in Whistler, Yukon Gallery in Whitehorse, and all over Powell River.
