RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK
ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Gregory & Ernest Disney-Britton
Shamira Wilson's work is rooted in storytelling. She is an emerging visual artist, and was featured at the 23rd annual Art & Soul celebration in Indianapolis. She is also a recent graduate of the Herron School of Art. Wilson works in a variety of media, including furniture, sculptural work, paintings, and prints. During this week’s Artist Talk, she explained that much of her work is related to maternal imagery, and specifically “African American maternal imagery.” That makes Shamira Wilson's "How Does Your Garden Grow?" our collector's tip of the week.
