Meggan Joy is a self-taught photographic artist primarily focused on digital collage. Joy combines fragments of the natural sciences with her narratives and allegories, often weaving in symbols and motifs from art history to create a new surreal vision.

She fabricates this staged imagery from the ground up, growing most of her subject matter in her garden, documenting the growth, beauty, and decay. Each piece is created by assembling thousands of individual photographs of botanicals, insects, and other wildlife – resulting in a final image that is bursting with life and layered with hidden details and anecdotes.

Joy has been honored as a finalist for the 2019 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize and received the bronze award at the Moscow International Foto Awards in Fine Art – Collage category in 2017.

She lives and works in Seattle, WA and is represented by J.Rinehart Gallery.
