Marie Amegah is a multidisciplinary artist based in the Baltimore-Washington DC area. Born and raised in Togo, she immigrated to the United States as a child. She holds a BFA in Art & Design from Towson University. Her work encircles themes of identity, human connection, nostalgia and queer storytelling. She investigates these core themes by intertwining painting, collage, illustration and book-making in her studio practice. As an artist whose curiosity tiptoes into several disciplines, the central bridge across her work is intricate detail. Through her mixed media work, Marie beckons viewers to reflect upon their own narratives amidst a world teeming with intricacies. Ultimately her work invites viewers to ponder their own narrative and connections to the world around them. Her portfolio reflects showcases in the DC area, televised appearances, and online exhibitions.
