Freedom and Feminism by Megan Gabrielle Harris

American artist, Megan Gabrielle Harris, dreams of freedom. She brings to live worlds that allow women to be unapologetically free - of inhibitions, gender norms, expectations, and societal pressures.

Her worlds are whimsical, with hills and leaves blending into one another; dreamlike as though she’s in the midst of bringing this world from canvas to reality. In each one, a woman exists in peace and surrealism. She seems content and calm in the soothing hues of her world. She seems at ease, relaxing and in no hurry to wake up to reality.

But Megan also depicts Black women who are very much in reality - their worlds are more defined. But in each of these pieces, she is still serene, taking strength from that free world that’s within her. She’s also solitary but doesn’t seem alone; instead she’s still strong and content.

We love each one! See some of our favourites below.
