About this listen

 🎙️ We Are Artists: Sassa Wilkes – Art as Liberation, Connection, and Community In this rich and inspiring episode, we sit down with Sassa Wilkes, an Appalachian artist whose work ranges from surreal oil portraits to large-scale public murals that bring people together. Sassa shares their creative journey—from sculptural beginnings to their intuitive, layered painting process that blends oil, graphite, gold leaf, and more. We dive into the role of art in shaping communities, the magic of collaborative creation, and how embracing one’s true identity can lead to deeper, more authentic expression. As a transgender, queer artist living in West Virginia, Sassa speaks candidly about the power of visibility, vulnerability, and staying rooted in purpose through creativity. Whether you’re an artist, an ally, or simply curious about the intersection of art and belonging, this conversation is full of warmth, insight, and inspiration. 🎨 Follow Sassa @sassawilkes
