Megha Nair (b. 2000 in Kochi, India) is a Boston-based artist who creates as an act of introspection. She experiments with painting and mixed media to explore her relationship with the universe.
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 blur together, drawing from her own experiences of displacement and disconnection. She is redefining divinity as something found in the corporeal world by conceptualizing surreal realms where the past, present, and future live together, reimagining our connections to the past. Her work is an act of radical self-reclamation over the psyche.
Celebrating resilience, origins, and identity as an act of tribute, she encourages others to honor known and unknown generational narratives while also writing new ones for themselves.
Her work has recently been on display at the Karen Aqua Gallery in Cambridge, MA and at the West Window Gallery in Quincy, MA. She has previously exhibited in spaces such as the Canal Gallery with Cambridge Arts Association, the Jean McDonough Arts Center in Worcester, Elevated Thought in Lawrence, and more. Recently, she partnered with Boston Children’s Museum for their Community Gathering Table to create a day of art programming for the kids. 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.
