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 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.

  • "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. As always, her approach was professional, with clear communication throughout, and all the design elements were completed ahead of the projected timeline!"

  • "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!"

  • “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.”
