Born in 1990 in Sacramento, USA. Works and lives in Sacramento, USA.
Megan Gabrielle Harris exemplifies the phenomenon of slow living and soft life perfectly, both in her afro-escapism and surrealism practice, and in her personal lived experience. Hailing from Sacramento in Northern California, and of Nigerian ancestry, Megan’s works are loosely inspired by either her own personal travels, or places that she would love to, and aims to visit.
A kaleidoscope of soft, and loose pastel hues frames her dreamscapes, transporting viewers of her portraits into an enchanted realm of endless surreal, dreamy and seductive elements. Her muses, tranquil and stunning as the idyllic settings they find themselves in, adorn light satin-silk dresses that flow as liberally as the distant lakes that they peacefully regard.
As an afro-surrealist, Megan Gabrielle Harris explores how black women navigate and escape societal constraints, creating a safe space where they can be unapologetically empowered. Through her art, she seeks to depict women as independent and powerful, offering a visual manifestation of her hopes for women to live their best lives. Inspired by her artist father and a supportive upbringing, she pursued a multifaceted career that includes art, modeling, and design.
Her artwork was presented with success at Untitled Art Fair Miami, Art X Lagos, Expo Chicago, Art Madrid, Latitudes Art Fair Johannesburg and during group shows in New York, Los Angeles, London, Barcelona and in March 2025 OOA GALLERY will organize at Art Curial Paris her first solo show. Megan Gabrielle Harris is fast becoming one of the most in demand contemporary African-American artists with a rapidly growing waiting list of esteemed international collectors and art patrons.
