Megan Lewis is a professional multidisciplinary illustrator. Known for her bold colors and wearable brand Blk Women Period, Lewis utilizes various mediums to create works of art that focus on stories that reflect a critical view of social, historical and cultural issues all inspired by Blk Women images. Megan has been and continues to be an active and well-regarded member of Baltimore’s thriving arts community.
Megan’s work “Freshly Squeezed Lemonade” appeared in the Baltimore Museum of Art exhibition “The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century,” (currently not on view). “This woman is labeled as being ‘hood,’” Megan says, describing the piece. “But she's high fashion — and her nails, her necklaces, her jewelry are taken and put on runways, and she doesn't get credit for it.” - Megan Lewis
My main goal with this newsletter is to inspire and encourage you to support Black artists. I'm passionate about this project and I'm doing it all on my own. Instead of having recurring subscriptions, if you could consider buying me a cup of coffee to show your support, that would be amazing! Thank you so much for all your help and support, it truly means the world to me.
You are on point with your goal!
