    Marie Amegah is a visual artist currently based in the Baltimore-Washington DC area of the united states. Her work encircles themes of immigration, identity, queer storytelling, nostalgia, and human connection. She explores these core themes through various 2D media such as painting, illustration, collage and bookmaking. 
As an artist whose curiosity tiptoes into several disciplines, the central bridge across her work is intricate detail. In the past few years, her work has been shown in numerous shows in the DC area, a televised news program and in a couple online exhibitions.
