Lanecia A. Rouse’s (Houston, TX/Richmond, VA) artistic practice is simultaneously contemplative and improvisational, exploring the communicative possibilities of materials through photography, collage, and abstract painting that point towards alternative ways for viewing and knowing the human experience. Rouse holds a Masters of Divinity from Duke University Divinity School (Durham, NC) and a BA in Sociology from Wofford College (Spartanburg, SC). Her recent solo shows include exhibitions at Forth and Nomad Gallery in Houston, TX (2019); Chapter Gallery in Kansas City, MO (2021); and the Duke University Chapel in Durham, NC (2022).
