Bio

Megan Hatch (she/her) is a queer artist and curator living in Portland, OR. Her work has been exhibited across the country, and in locations as far afield as Barcelona and Budapest. She was a 2022 Critical Mass finalist.

Lens-based art and mixed media painting form the main through lines of her arts practice. While she holds a degree in Studio Art from Carleton College, she is primarily a self-taught photographer. She creates her images as she would craft a sentence: to shed light. In her mixed media work, she is captivated by the alchemy that occurs between the different materials and the way that it opens portals to other ways of knowing.

Megan curates for and teaches in community. Her experiences of growing up queer, rural, and working class created a deep desire to shift the paradigms that control production of, access to, and connection with art.
