Megan McCabe is a figurative oil painter who discusses underlining themes of relationships, co-existence and isolation in her practice.  She is interested in how figures, often in solitude, inhabit and exist in the spaces around them.  McCabe's newest work features the presence of a sole figure in a number of familiar environments.  McCabe is fascinated with the experience of stillness, be it calm or frenzied, produced by the environments we find ourselves in.  The uncertain nature and intention of McCabe's figures, confronted with the immensity of the world around them, provides a unique opportunity to consider and reflect upon the range of physical and pyschological responses we negotiate daily. 
McCabe was born in 1984, and is based out of Toronto, Ontario.  She holds a BFA from OCAD U and her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows across Canada.  McCabe has been recognized for her work over the years, including being a finalist in the RBC Painting Competition.
