Utilizing geometries that build on, elaborate and inform one another other according to a shared logic that is established as it is created, Hepburn explores and translates the language of shapes and lines in her paintings. She received her BFA from Emily Carr Institute (now University) in Vancouver in 2005 and her MFA from Concordia University in Montreal in 2010. In 2008 she received the Velan Graduate Award in Painting from Concordia University. Megan was a participant in the international residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts: Why Are Conceptual Artists Painting Again? Because They Think It’s a Good Idea, led by Jan Verwoert in 2009.

Her first solo exhibition took place at Galerie Werner Whitman, Montreal in 2009.
