WAVY WEDNESDAY
FINE ARTIST

Kamara T, known professionally as Wavy Wednesday, is an emerging Studio Artist, Muralist and Activist based in Pittsburgh, PA. Wavy is a 2018 graduate of California University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Fine Art who is currently pursuing a master’s degree with a focus in painting at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Representing the more playful aspects of her experiences as a black feminist artist, Wavy takes a page from Warhol and Lichtenstein by controversially blurring the lines between Fine Art and pop culture. By using colorful pop art and drawing on cultural symbols like Barbie, the activism in her work confronts social, racial and gender justice. Wavy Wednesday’s professional painting skills have been featured on several public art projects in the city of Pittsburgh, Brian Burley's "YNGBLKPGH" book, and on popular social media sites like Afropunk and Supermarket Magazine.
