Agazit is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose work explores the intersections of culture, nature, and emotion through layered textures, light, and form. A graduate of the University of Washington’s Interdisciplinary Visual Arts program (2008), she approaches art-making as both a personal journey and a shared experience.
Her early career was marked by community-centered exhibitions, including Festival Sundiata—the longest-running African American festival in the Pacific Northwest—where her work was displayed at the Seattle Center. For her culminating university project, she created an immersive 3D installation at the Tashiro Kaplan Building, inviting participants to engage with art as an environment rather than an object.
Following her graduation, Agazit was awarded the Pratt Fine Arts Vascovitz Adult Scholarship (2008–2009) in Drawing and Painting, where she deepened her technical skill and artistic focus. As a teaching artist with Nature Consortium, she developed curricula that fused environmental awareness with creative practice, guiding students aged 5 to 19 in expressing their connection to the natural world through mixed media, painting, and sculpture.
Her commitment to community art is reflected in collaborative projects such as the Rainier Boys and Girls Club mural depicting Mount Rainier, as well as the exhibition of her portrait of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Sand Point Gallery. Her participation in Festival Sundiata continued in 2010 with an exhibition at the African American Art Museum in Seattle, further affirming her dedication to representing heritage and history through her visual language.
Most recently, Agazit expanded her creative expression through writing and publishing her book Joyful Resilience, which features four of her original art pieces. The book shares her journey as a first-generation immigrant and her experiences growing up with a sibling who has autism, offering a deeply personal reflection on family, identity, and perseverance.
Drawing inspiration from the expressive light of Impressionism and the dramatic depth of Baroque art, Agazit’s current work blends classical sensibilities with contemporary vision. Her evolving practice celebrates resilience, identity, and the ever-changing dialogue between humanity and nature.
