Maegan Rose Mehler

A painter and sculptor, Maegan is interested in the complexities of relationships and the politics of the face—an open term for the affective potential of paintings in their address with the viewer. Whether abstract or representational, her work is a constellation of playful attempts at mimicking the complexities, awkwardness and humour inherent in everyday encounters. The 2011 BC winner of the 2011 BMO 1st! Art Invitational Student Art Competition, Maegen recently earned her MFA from the University of Guelph.
