LaNia Sproles lives and works in the segregated city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she also graduated with a BFA from Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 2017. Her body of work spans several disciplines including: printmaking, drawing and collage. The philosophies of self-perception, queer and feminist theories, and inherent racial dogmas are essential to Sproles’s work. She examines the works’ of feminist artists and writers such as Octavia Butler, Kara Walker and Rebecca Morgan. She recently completed her year as a 2019 Mary L. Nohl fellow and teaching artist in residence at the Lynden Sculpture Garden in Milwaukee.
