About the art:
Lewis' work is based on controversial issues relating to Black Americans and other minority groups that continually fight socio-political issues. From an early beginning, she showed a deep concern with the social issues and the lack of self-love elicited from her community. In a way, Lewis is re-writing *his-story* and replying with different perspective, *her-story*. In one of her first pieces *I am* an etching, she expresses an ode in memory of her ancestors and the pride she has in roots. Furthermore, philosophers such as Fanon and Camus have heavily influenced Marissa Lewis' work.
About the artist:
Marissa Lewis is a senior-year Studio Art student at Webster University. She has studied various mediums including sculpture and print-making. Marissa also volunteers her time with The LGBT Center of St. Louis and has been an active volunteer for close to three years. This will be Marissa's first showing.
