About Dream.

About Me

My name is Audreamia Wardlow, a Bronx, New York artist from Fordham Manor. In the midst of the challenges faced by my community, I wield art as a force for peace and protection. The streets bear the weight of poverty mindset and spiritual pollution, and I respond by creating sculptures, resources, and prints that serve as vehicles for reflection, introspection, stillness, and expansion.

Inspired by Egyptian, Baroque, Pop, and late antiquity art, I strive to revive the original purpose of craftsmanship: to facilitate divine connection. My work explores how ancient functionality can find expression in modern aesthetics. Utilizing materials such as sugar, plaster, found objects, and ink, I convey a message that transcends time. Repetition and collaging are techniques I rely on to amplify both the power of the work and its underlying message.
