The central figure in this illustrated nocturnal fantasy is blindfolded, a metaphor for my own visual impairment, since my first brain surgery at age ten. My message is: "When faced with overwhelming odds, find the courage to meet your demons. Be fearless!"
About the Artist
Marieke Davis
Arizona native Marieke Davis, a brain cancer survivor and "visually impaired visual artist" since the age of ten, has found art to be a therapeutic passion, guiding her studies and career. A graduate of ASU with a BFA in Drawing and a 2023 graduate from the Columbus College of Art & Design with an MFA in Visual Arts, Marieke advocates for the inclusivity of art.

Additionally, her autobiographical comic, "Life is Blurry," earned her a Kennedy Center VSA Emerging Young Artist award. Her MFA Thesis Project and first children’s book, "Lily, the Blind Unicorn," available in print, audio, and Braille, reflect her hope for a future of compassionate individuals. Her piece "Fearless" portrays her personal challenges and her unwavering resilience.
