Felicia Megginson is a U.S.-born artist whose creative practice explores themes of identity and memory, focusing on how cultural, familial, and societal pressures shape individuality. Through photography, Megginson crafts visual narratives that reflect family, place, and the act of remembrance. While her drawing and painting practice leans into dreamlike forms and highly pigmented colors to reflect the essence of emotional resonance.

Abstraction and layered imagery are key elements Megginson uses to convey the intangible nature of memories and lived experiences. Ralph Ellison wrote that nowhere was “the crossroads of where personal reality meets the metaphorical meanings attached to people and places.” Megginson’s work wholeheartedly embraces this notion.

Felicia Megginson holds an M.A. in Studio Art from New York University with a concentration in lens-based media. She has exhibited extensively, and has participated in numerous residencies and fellowships including: the Bronx Museum of Art Artist in the Marketplace program, the Center for Photography in Woodstock AIR, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, and the Henry Street Settlement. She was an En Foco fellow, and has also been the recipient of a Polaroid film grant.
