WELCOME TO THE ART OF WENDELL GEORGE BROWN

Telling stories through fabric, stitches, and sculpture

 

Rooted in the rich traditions of African American quilt-making—and inspired by the spiritual depth of Negro Spirituals and the forms of traditional African masks and sculpture—my work reimagines quilting as a sculptural, socially conscious, and deeply personal art form. Through layered fabrics, hand stitching, acrylic-painted canvas, and crafted sculptures, each piece becomes a vessel of memory, resistance, and cultural storytelling. Welcome to a space where history, spirit, and material converge. This is a space where material becomes memory, and art becomes a bridge between past and present.
