Aunj Braggs
Aunj is a painter, muralist and mixed media artist based in Tulsa. Her work primarily focuses on her lived experiences as a Black woman and the representation of this marginalized group of people. She draws inspiration from the lives of her loved ones and fantasy/sci-fi themed books, media and film. Aunj completed her Associate of Arts at Tulsa Community College. She graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in the Spring of 2018.
Early in her career she exhibited at Oklahoma University, IAO Gallery, and her home University in Edmond. After her move back to Tulsa in 2019 she joined an all-Black artists collective called Black Moon. Since her involvement with the collective, she has participated in group shows at TAC gallery, Living Arts, the Gilcrease Museum, and the Philbrook Museum. She continues to stay actively invested within the arts community of Oklahoma, and she is optimistic that the art scene here will advance to be more inclusive in the future.
