Merica Teachman is an upcoming artist from Los Angeles. She graduated from California Institute of the Arts in 2025 with a BFA in Fine Arts and minors in Humanities, Social Science, Math and Science.

Exploring the surrealism housed within the American Dream, Teachman curates dystopian scenes in her art to emphasize the horrors of power and control. With a focus on identity and state of being, the past and the present sink into one illustrating the incessant destruction of the individual and society when suppressive ways of living are accepted.
