Brande Wilkerson is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in nonrepresentational and multisensory artwork that transforms ordinary spaces into places of engagement, reflection, and emotional renewal. She seeks to evoke calm, emotional healing, and connection with our creator through her work. Utilizing shape, composition, color, and storytelling, her art often incorporates assemblage sculptures, interactive pieces, found objects, mixed media, paintings, and touchable textures. Her multisensory approach invites audiences to engage with art on a tactile and emotional level. Her work brings the benefit of hopeful curiosity that will transform an environment. Her mission is to bring meaningful experiences, not just visual objects.
As an active millinery and costume designer, Brande continues to create original and innovative accessories for her Etsy shop. Brande’s work has been worn by celebrities and musicians and showcased in many films, underscoring her reputation as an award-winning designer with a distinct creative voice. She has collaborated with hundreds of creatives over the years. Her editorial designs have been featured in over 100 magazines, blogs & websites, including six cover features. Her striking designs have graced the runways of New York Fashion Week and earned a coveted feature in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book.
