Tasanee Durrett

Durrett is an abstract figurative visual artist whose work explores identity and connectivity. She holds a B.Arch from the University of Arizona School of Architecture, where the Black human experience greatly influences her work. Painting became an outlet for releasing emotions and regaining strength after escaping an 8-year abusive relationship in 2022. Her artistic journey began as a quest for personal freedom and breaking free of psychological and emotional chains holding her back from embracing her true self.

Durrett has participated in several national exhibitions including her solo show in Orlando, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Orlando Museum of Art, Hyatt Regency Hotel in Orlando, Spectrum Art Basel Miami, AfriKin Art Fair Miami, EXPO Chicago, Mint Museum, and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York. Notable accolades include features in the Orlando Foundation for Architecture archives, 1919 Mag, Blacque, and Sugarcane Magazine.

Durrett currently lives and works in Florida, using art to empower marginalized narratives and facilitate cross-cultural healing.
