about the artist

MEGHAN HILDEBRAND (b. 1978)

Originally from Whitehorse, Yukon, contemporary Canadian painter Meghan Hildebrand currently lives on the Sunshine Coast of BC, the traditional territory of the Tla’amin First Nation. Describing her work, she says:

“The richness that surrounds me keeps me in constant awe, and endeavouring to render the experience of places, real and imagined, pushed to sensory highs through a collage of painting styles ranging from graphic to gestural. Although rarely depicted, human characters establish themselves with their strange symbols, their constructions and piles. I imagine the lives and languages connected to these lands and waters for millennia, and reflect on our relationship to the land we occupy.”

Meghan has been exhibiting her paintings since 1996.
