Meg Hubert (she/her)
Meg Hübert resides on the unceded lands of the coast Salish peoples–Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations, and works out her studio on Fraser street producing sculptures, paintings, drawings, and functional objects out of clay. Along-side her art practice she also teaches kids, youth, and adults. Through her experience of teaching she has discovered the joy of observing others learn, and so she views teaching as an art form as well: “As a teacher you are guiding the student, pushing, and nudging them in certain ways just like an artwork. You might think you know what they are going to do but then they surprise you and teach you something! Being surprised and learning new things gives me a real thrill—it’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.”
Growing up Meg loved watching children’s programing like, Mr. Dressup, Fred Penner, and Sharon, Lois and Bram. There she learned a lot of the values and perspectives she carries through into her interactions with the world, and her creation of art. Meg shares those themes—empathy, humor, and openness—on you-tube, where she reads children’s books and talks with the viewers about the stories. She started this project for kids during the COVID-19 pandemic and received a lot of feedback from adults who said they found the videos calming and reassuring. “I think being read to makes a person feel cared for and safe; I know it makes me feel that way!”
Having had many health issues throughout childhood and adulthood Meg has worked to incorporate daily actions that make her feel happy and cared for in her art practice. “I think it comes through to the observer. I make colourful and playful objects, drawings, and music as a way to share joy and bring attention to the absurdity and beauty of the human experience.”
