Crystal Marshall is a contemporary fine artist painter who lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia. Originally from Kingston, Jamaica, her paintings pay homage to her life's experiences rooted in cultural disparities in the modern-day African diaspora. Her distinctive personal style emanates isolation, self reflection and expresses the spirit and atmosphere of the black consciousness in efforts to reconcile its relationship with true identity and image. Symbolic motifs, figuration, allegorical representations are some of the visual tools used to express displacement and exclusion. As the artist explains, “I am a storyteller and I welcome the viewer to be a part of this visual journey, to share in my experience.” She earned a Bachelor of General Fine arts degree from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland and also studied fine arts at Edna Manley College of Art in Kingston, Jamaica. She received a full scholarship for an exchange program at Pont Aven School of Contemporary art in France where she showcased her work in a group exhibit. Currently she’s pursuing her MFA in painting at SCAD University. Crystal's artwork has been shown in exhibitions such as "Intersectionality Theory" at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, group exhibit. n addition, Crystal has showcased her works with Startart Fair at the renowned Saatchi Gallery in the United Kingdom."
