Kosi Ayanna (b. 1994, Washington, DC) is from PG County, Maryland. Currently working out of Washington, DC, and Brooklyn, New York.

Kosi Ayanna (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and creative producer. Her work focuses on the elements of nature and the intimate parallel between human and world creation. Much of her work explores the nuances of Otherness through imagined otherworldly beings and spaces, while merging the ideas of community, realism and belonging. These created worlds function as portals to the transformation and spiritual guidance experienced by marginalized identities. Her practice juxtaposes color, texture, collage, and film photography to create these realms of transformation.

She has exhibited work in many group exhibitions and publications over the years.

Her work has been exhibited at the ArtRoomDC Gallery in Washington, DC, Rio III Gallery in Harlem, NY, Riverfront Art Gallery in Yonkers, NY, and featured in print and virtually with Artists Talk Magazine in Manhattan, NY.
