MEGHA NAIR
Megha Nair (b. 2000 in Kochi, India) is a Boston-based artist who creates as an act of introspection. Exploring her relationship with the universe, she uses painting and mixed media to reclaim her identity and redefine divinity.
Blending real life and dreamscapes, she uses vibrant colors and cultural motifs to create radiant ancestral planes and personal mythological worlds where memory and imagination collide, drawing from her own experiences of displacement and disconnection. These surreal realms conceptualize spaces where the past, present, and future live together, allowing us to reimagine our origins and our connections to time. Her work is an act of radical self-reclamation over the psyche.
Celebrating resilience and history as an act of tribute, she encourages others to honor known and unknown generational narratives while also rewriting their own.
Her debut solo exhibition, If you can see me, hold me close, is currently on view at the Multicultural Arts Center of Cambridge. Her work has previously been shown at the West Window Gallery in Quincy, MA, the Karen Aqua Gallery in Cambridge, MA, the Peace Center Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, the Jean McDonough Arts Center in Worcester, MA, Elevated Thought in Lawrence, MA, and more. Recently, she partnered with Boston Children’s Museum for their Community Gathering Table. Last fall she was invited as a guest speaker for the Museum of Fine Arts' Diwali program hosted by SubDrift and is a recipient of the Opportunity Fund from the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture. Her piece "Fluidity" was featured on the cover of Exposed Brick Literary magazine in 2025.
