Maddie Hepner (b. 1998) is an American-Australian-Canadian artist working within photography, video, sculpture and sound, based on Ngunnawal Country (Canberra, Australia). Her practice engages with personal identity, political discourse, and the shifting role of the image in a digital context.
Recent works explore the intersections of health, anxiety and technology, drawing on lived experience to reflect on compulsive behaviours and digital fatigue. Through both analogue and digital processes, she creates works that navigate the body's vulnerabilities within an increasingly mediated world.
Maddie graduated from the ANU School of Art and Design with First Class Honours in 2021. She has exhibited at a multitude of galleries across Canberra, including Civic Art Bureau, Gorman Arts Centre, M16 Artspace, PhotoAccess, Platform by Canberra Contemporary, and Tributary Projects.
