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).
