Maryam Trebeau Crogman is a force of creativity—an artist, muralist, photographer, author, and
professor whose work pushes boundaries, provoke a second look and unsettles expectations.
Raised across continents in a family of artists, Maryam's multicultural upbringing is the heartbeat
of her artistry, fusing Afro-Caribbean vibrancy with European esthetics. Her work pulsates with
bold colors, simple lines, intricate textures, 3D materials and thought-provoking imagery that
challenges perceptions and invites audiences to embrace the beauty of diverse human conditions.
Maryam 's artistic style is a blend of minimalistic lines, large-scale acrylic portraits, and striking
elements such as gold, chains, spray paint, and epoxy. Each piece is a conversation, urging viewers
to question what they truly know about different cultures, identities and human conditions. Her art
serves as both a mirror and a window—reflecting lived experiences while offering glimpses into
new perspectives.
In her exhibition history, Maryam has left her mark on important local platforms including the
Riverside Artscape, Ontario Museum of History and Arts, Riverside Artwalk, the Riverside Arts
Museum and Eastside Arthouse shows. Her murals exist on streets, community centers, and
restaurants across Southern California's Inland Empire, transforming urban landscapes into vibrant
storytelling canvases.
Beyond the gallery walls, Maryam is a social catalyst, using public art to inspire unity and
empowerment. She believes in the transformative power of art to uplift cities, encourage youth,
and foster cultural appreciation through art parties, classes, community projects and work with
government and businesses. As the proud owner of L'Expression Creative Studios, she has created
a dynamic community hub where individuals of all backgrounds and skill levels can express their
uniqueness and explore their creative potential.
