Wande Kotun, Resolute Rose

Visual Art – Baltimore

Wande is a self-taught artist who allowed her dabbles with art to bloom into a consistent effort to capture all things beautiful thorugh art around 2015. She was born to a resolute woman who immigrated to the US from Nigeria to follow her dream of becoming a nurse. As such, Wande’s work reflects the reverence and beauty of women and womanly forms, the liberation of flowers and nature, connective reflection and her own sensuality. The goal of her work is to consistently create pieces that represent the duality of womanhood–the dichotomy of femininity and strength, beauty and sexuality, youth and wisdom, and darkness and divinity. Wande works from her home in Baltimore, Maryland. She also works as a healthcare administrator, working to partner with her local community and empower community members to take ownership of their health and live longer, stronger, more fulfilling lives.
