Desi Brown

Artist in Residence

Desi Brown

Desirae Brown is currently an LTL (Limited Term Lecturer) at Purdue University. Her classes are focused on ceramic studio art. Her work presently revolves around sculpture. Her artwork is a response to growing up as a Black bi-racial child and addresses her mother's influence on her in their single-parent household. Additionally, it delves into themes like being a woman and a single mother herself, Black single motherhood, and social class. Her goal is to create works that open a space for discussions of all these themes.

When not creating or teaching, Desi spends time with her children or works out at the gym and other physical activities (roller skating).
