Meghan Boody is a multi-media artist and community leader who has long been fascinated by how human beings change and evolve. Whether in large scale photographs, immersive performance or interactive sculpture, she invites her audience to experience the dark night of the soul. Her work revolves around the mystery of this murky process, exploring the pivotal role that loss and struggle often play in personal growth. Boody’s hope is for her viewer to find their own golden nugget as they engage in her fantastical narratives. She has grown increasingly interested in the ability of art to heal, crafting experiences that invoke the transformative power of story.
Meghan Boody is considered one of the first photographers to use digital photography effectively. She holds a BA from Georgetown University, has studied at Parsons Paris School of Art & Design and apprenticed with photographer Hans Namuth. Her work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University and The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). For the past 10 years, Boody has co-lead Gang of Girls, a think tank for women who want to change their lives.
