About the Artist

Lex Marie (b. 1992, Prince George’s County, MD) is a multidisciplinary artist exploring personal and collective experiences within the African diaspora through painting, sculpture, and installation. Her work examines themes like adultification bias, food insecurity, and systemic inequities, as seen in her 2022 solo exhibition "Let Them Kids Be Kids" at MOCA Arlington.

She has exhibited at the Banneker-Douglass Museum, NIU Art Museum, and Susquehanna Art Museum, among others, and participated in residencies at MOCA Arlington and Artist Mother Studio x Red Dirt. A recent recipient of the S&R Evermay Washington Award, her work continues to reimagine everyday materials to challenge societal norms, engage young audiences, and spark meaningful dialogue.
