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.

FLOWER ACTIVITY

Join Southern University student and artist Chasity Joseph for a flower activity inspired by Chagall! Joseph, an Agricultural Sciences major, is making life-sized flowers inspired by Louisiana's flora, and the dreamlike world of the Daphnis and Chloe lithographs. Visitors will have a chance to help make a large community flower and learn more about Chasity's research at the intersections of art and science.
