Meanie is a transdisciplinary artist, working between mediums, primarily in portraiture and documentary photography. Her work is informed by observation of the beauty of the world. Born and raised in Blackpool with roots in Lebanon, she draws inspiration from the intersection of her diverse cultural background and urban experiences, crafting conceptual narratives that transcend conventional boundaries. Meanie’s work is characterised by a deep-rooted belief in the transformative power of art, and the theoretical and political investigation towards a better future.
