Lanecia Rouse

Lanecia A. Rouse creates from a deep knowing that art serves as sacred ground where empathy is fostered, curiosity is cultivated, healing unfolds, and connection flourishes. This guiding philosophy infuses her multifaceted practice as an artist, embracing collage, abstract painting, photography, teaching, writing, speaking, and thoughtful curatorial work with local non-profit organizations.

Lanecia has been honored to share her practice through workshops at SnowFarm New England Craft School, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Shakerag Workshops, and The Glen Workshop. Her artistic journey has been enriched by meaningful residencies, including the Foundation for Spirituality and the Arts in Charleston, SC (2023); the Artists on Site: Series 3 Artist-in-Residence at the Asia Society HTX (2022); and the 2020–2021 Artist-in-Residence for the Center for Engaged Research and Collaborative Learning (CERCL) at Rice University. She currently serves as Artist-in-Residence partner at Holy Family HTX Episcopal Church in Houston, TX, where she guides the curation team for the Lanecia A. Rouse Gallery, and brings her vision to the Board of Directors for Image Journal.
