Maryam Amirvaghefi is an artist and educator based in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Originally from Iran, Maryam's work encompasses her cultural identity without explaining it; her work speaks to where she comes from but she does not feel the need to indulge the viewer's expectations and stereotypes about art that an Iranian woman might make.  She shows humor and appreciation towards games and sports as a place where true winners and losers exist.
