Mariam Memarsadeghi
Painter
Mariam loved to make art as a child in Iran. She relishes walking and driving to take in sights, and has always been a doodler. Her abstract paintings are rooted in the natural world of wildflowers, woods, streams, oceans, big skies, and mountains. They can also evoke futuristic space voyages and dream scapes. Pencil line drawings are a regular feature. Her works are heavily saturated with color and often inspired by childhood.
Most are a combination of both drawing and brush stroke, with some pieces featuring mixed media and paper collage.
Mariam studies with abstract artist Calvin Edward Ramsburg at the Delaplaine Arts Center in Frederick, MD. She grew up in Frederick after migrating to the US from Iran when she was seven years old, during the 1979 revolution. Her father and many of her father’s friends were architects with a love of art. Mariam has worked for over twenty years on international democracy and human rights programming. She writes and organizes for democracy in her homeland.
