About Charlotte:
Charlotte Ka is an artist who splits her practice between Pittsburgh, PA and Brooklyn, NY. Originally from Crestas Terrace, a small village east of Pittsburgh, Charlotte left for New York to study at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. A formative time for Charlotte, she became inspired by the Black Revolution of the ‘60s and the defiant spirit of the Black Power movement, which led to her immersion in a new lifestyle that included her Black and African heritage.
Inspired by her love of art, dance, and music, Charlotte’s work is about “the beauty of the spirit.” She uses her memories of her inspirations as a foundation to create her mosaic-like abstract pieces. She has exhibited her work in New York City, NY, Pittsburgh, PA, Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, the Ivory Coast, Cuba, Jamaica, and Brazil. She is the recipient of the NYFA Award in Painting and the Advancing of Black Arts grant from the Heinz Foundation. She and her partner Errol Reynolds founded MOKA (Mecca of Kulture and Art), an art studio, gallery and residence in the Hill District of Pittsburgh.
