Please join us for the 2020-2021 KSMoCA Artist Lecture Series, which is open to members of the public and students at Dr. MLK Jr School and their families. The lecture will take place via YouTube livestream (click here to join). Paula Wilson is currently an Artist-In-Residence at KSMoCA.

Presentations will be recorded and made available on our website as an ongoing resource for students, teachers, and members of the public.

Paula Wilson is a multimedia artist whose densely layered, colorful, and often monumental works utilize a variety of painting, collage, filmic, installation, and print techniques. As a black biracial woman born in Chicago, IL and living in the American desert, Wilson’s multifaceted work resists a singular viewpoint. Her layering of image, pattern, and materials acts as a visual metaphor for the complex stratum of histories and cultures, both real and imagined, that inform her work. Wilson is based in Carrizozo, New Mexico where she is co-founder of the artist organizations MoMAZoZo and the Carrizozo Artist in Residency (AIR).
