ARTIST BIO
Mouminatou Thiaw is a Senegalese American artist from Mboro, Senegal and Southern Oregon. She uses impressionist strokes and forms, personally interpreting tensions and joys around womanness, global identity and Africanity, and connection to the body, earth and Spirit. With painting, printmaking, and sculpture, she pulls from her corporeal connections, translating dreams, memories and glimpses into a vibrant, impressionist world. Her work responds to both her internal and external worlds through a PanAfrican EcoWomanist lense. She layers color to emote the complexities or textures of human experiences, and sculpts organous forms with terracotta clay that become an artistic garden bed. Thiaw believes artistry, curiosity, and abundant love can guide us in paths of healing, learning, and connectivity. She currently lives and works out of Nashville, Tennessee.
