About the Artist
Meegan Lim (she/her) is an illustrator and arts facilitator based in Brampton, 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 personal 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.

What’s New?
This Summer, I will be busy with FBC Collective as we start our first large-scale mural! On top of that, I’m back at local art markets and illustrating a second children’s book!
Collaboration & community is very important to me.
When I can, I contribute to my local arts community by facilitating accessible and engaging workshops. I am also a part of a collective called Fuelled by Coffee with 3 of my illustrator pals: Christine Kilfoil, Mackenzie Coleman & Tenzin Tsering.
“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.”
