About the Artist

Meegan Lim (she/her) is an illustrator and arts facilitator based in Toronto, Ontario. She is known for her detailed illustrations focusing on food and cultural identity, and the vast stories that exist within those intersections.

Her mission is to create art that is inviting in its aesthetic, thoughtful in its research, and illuminating with its subject matter. From her detailed gouache illustrations to her risograph zines, Meegan’s work provides a colourful and lighthearted entry point to topics that can be hard to digest. She holds a Bachelor of Design in Illustration, specializing in Entrepreneurship & Social Innovation, from OCAD University.

Bringing unique art to the coffee table.

Building community and creating safe spaces for resource sharing are essential in the arts. With this vision in mind, Fuelled by Coffee Collective was born, uniting four multidisciplinary artists: Meegan Lim, Christine Kilfoil, Mackenzie Coleman & Tenzin Tsering.

  • “Meegan has been helping us with concept visualization of seasonal window displays for a luxury brand since 2020. She goes beyond illustrating written narratives, actively contributing to the design and art direction. Meegan is a true professional. She responds to feedback with precision, making revisions that exceed expectations. Meegan has earned the highest endorsement I can offer.”

    - Natalie MacNamara, NAMARA Principal & Creative Director 

  • "I've had the pleasure of working with Meegan on several public art commissions and illustration projects over the past few years and it was so lovely to work with her again in 2024. She recently created a beautiful, illustrated map for one of our public art walks and a sticker sheet to promote a new mural. As always, her approach was professional, with clear communication throughout, and all the design elements were completed ahead of the projected timeline!"

    - Erin Glover, Public Art Officer, Cultural Services at the City of Brampton

  • "Meegan is a wonderfully talented artist who puts so much heart into each and every project. Her attention to detail, endless creativity and easy communication make her a true pleasure to collaborate with!"

    - Dahlia Yuen, Designer, Orca Book Publishers

  • “Beyond the accessible and relatable themes of food in her work, there are so many layers of rigorous study: the study of culture, race, intersectionality and self-identity. The inviting colours and the friendliness of her line language welcome readers to much-needed conversations about social injustices and change.”
