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.
