For Spring 2026 Artist-in-Residence Lex Marie @thelexmarie , materials carry memory.

Drawing from her lived experience as a Black mother, Marie’s practice transforms familiar materials (such as school uniforms and pencils to belts, report cards, and hospital blankets) into charged objects that examine systems of care and control.

During her residency at McColl Center, Marie brought that material language into a new medium: printmaking. Working alongside Collaborative Printmaking Apprentice Caroline Wingerd @carolinewingerd.art , Marie explored how ideas central to her practice could shift through the repetition, layering, and process of screenprinting.

Through conversation, experimentation, proofing, and revision, the pair developed “Black Maternal Health Flag,” a new limited-edition print created in McColl Center’s Printmaking Studio.

The fruits of this labor reflect something central to our mission at McColl Center: giving artists time and space to create while opening doors to new processes, equipment, and people.

What else can a practice become when given room to experiment?

For Lex, one answer emerged in the Printmaking Studio.

“Black Maternal Health Flag” is now available to collect.

30 × 22 inches, Screenprint on 250 gsm Fabriano Unica paper, limited edition of 100. Signed and editioned in pencil.

Learn more and collect yours via the link in our bio, “The Story of an Artwork.” This edition is limited, so don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to collect Lex Marie’s work.

NEW GALLERY!!!
It’s time for another gallery show and we’re beyond excited to announce that our next gallery show will be with our very good friend Jalen Marlowe! Marlowe is a well-known figure in the Charlotte photography community, but for those of you unfortunate enough not to have encountered him yet, he is an amazing photographer who is well-versed in the worlds of documentary, portraiture, and (more and more lately) sports photography. He is extremely dedicated and a master storyteller, and his show, Rookie Card, will be here at The Photo Outfitters on August 20th from 6-8. Come on out to show Marlowe some love and spend some time with your community! BE THERE!!!

🖤Continue to ignite the heart, soul, and ideas behind who you are. Real connections come from actions and beliefs. Right now man is being subjected to his own inventions, the victim to technology instead of being in control of it. True beauty isn’t manufactured or achieved…it’s a state of being felt when one is fully free in who they are. The barrier is to eliminate FEAR…the fear of judgement, aging, or of not being enough….love ya fam 🌱✨
