About Marie

Marie Magnetic is inspired by her identity as a queer, Jewish, Indigenous, and neurodivergent woman as she examines dystopia, delight, and delusion in society. Her artwork reflects the experiences of being othered, whether as a woman in a patriarchal society, an ethnic minority, or someone with a disability. Growing up in a small town in southwestern Michigan helped to shape her political ideals and values as she witnessed friends and family suffer from addiction, mental health issues, and poverty.

Marie is inspired by dada and surrealism, working to create a sense of investigation for the viewer. Through her work, Marie explores themes of intersectional feminism, consumerism, status quo, education, and access to information. Overall, she aims to make people deliberate alternate existences and captivate their minds through her expression, balancing absurdity and uneasiness with enchantment and hope.
