Megan Feniak (b. 1990, Edmonton, Canada) is an artist who utilizes sculpture and craft processes to explore themes of transformation, longing and mortality. Potent natural forms—caterpillars, spiders, bodies and their negative impressions—emerge from intimate processes such as drawing in sand and accumulative mark-making to form allegories of desire, affects, and primordial relationships. Feniak received her BFA from the Alberta University of the Arts and her MFA from the University of Guelph. Her work has been shown in Canadian galleries such as the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge; Stride Gallery, Calgary; Hunt Gallery, Toronto; The Plumb, Toronto; Left Contemporary, Windsor; Support, London; and The Bows, Calgary. She has served as an artist in residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts, and the Badlands Art Department in Drumheller. Feniak lives and works in the Treaty 7 territory of Banff, Canada.
