MEGAN HINTON
Megan Hinton
American b.1974
Megan Hinton is a painter known for reconfiguring genres of landscape, figurative, and object painting. Her art utilizes painting’s historic content and technique with found and discarded material to investigate line, color, shape, surface, and scale. This fusion of content and material further defines Hinton as a collagist and sculptor with interdisciplinary practices in installation, photography, and printmaking. In 2024 Provincetown Art Association and Museum honored Hinton with the prestigious annual Award for Artistic Excellence. Megan holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary arts from Mills College where she won the Hung Lui Painting Prize. She has received residency fellowships from Twenty Summers in Provincetown and The Frans Masereel Centrum in Belgium. She is a recipient of the Alice C. Cole ‘42 Merit Grant from Wellesley College. Megan is also an art educator, curator, and writer.
