Community Connection: Artist Keisha Makonese
Keisha Makonese is a Denver-based visual artist whose work celebrates legacy, movement, and cultural storytelling through painting, mixed media, jewelry, and metal smithing.
On Friday, December 19, at 11 a.m., she sits down with Tree King on Community Connection.
Keisha's specialty is ballerina figures that embody grace, discipline, and strength, along with vibrant works that honor women, joy, and lived experience. Her artistic lineage traces back to her great-grandmother, Flora Carnell Lewis Washington, a black woman whose artwork was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in 1939. This legacy continues to guide Keisha's work and belief in perseverance through creativity.
