Chasity Joseph
GUEST ARTIST
Chasity Joseph develops upon her interdisciplinary skill set to best serve and align with her core values of sustainability, expression, and community. She makes use of any medium available but is most known for her acrylic paintings, ceramics, and fiber arts. Chasity is currently a graduating senior going to school for Agricultural Sciences at Southern University with a minor in Fine Art. Her latest works of art closely relate to her scientific interests and research in experiential learning. Her goal is to create works that bridge the gap between science and the arts, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature and humanity.
