Hello…
My Name is Alexandria Searles. My Afrocentric style is rooted in my Caribbean and African-American heritage. From my youth, I was inspired to create artwork that fully represented the excellence and beauty of Blackness. My work is defined by my portraiture and her colorful, expressive abstract pieces. My mediums are digital, acrylic paint, and oil paint.
In 2015, I chose the moniker, Morowa Mosai, meaning Queen Mosaic to represent my work. Morowa, a Ghanaian name, became the title underneath my artwork, which inspired and touched many.
“The purpose of art is for people to see it…and feel.” - MOROWA MOSAI
I have worked with several Non-profit Organizations in the Charleston area. I have completed 3 murals in the city, hosted several events, and completed illustrations for published works. My work has been shown at the Spoleto Festival and exhibited in local galleries. I have also been featured at several speaking engagements geared toward youth and women. I am currently in residency at Elevate at Brighton Park through American landmark apartments.
Morowa & Co.
A handcrafted jewelry making company inspired by my natural hair journey, Morowa & Co is women run & women owned.
