Dare Coulter

Dare Coulter's art is a space for joy and reflection. She is an award-winning sculptor, muralist, and illustrator who focuses primarily on depictions of black families and people, and is the excited recipient of the 2024 Coretta Scott King Illustrator book award. Dare creates imagery that reflects the fullness and vibrancy of the black cultural experience. In 2023 she illustrated Kwame Alexander's "An American Story" (5*) and Dr. Ebony Joy Wilkins' "Zora the Story Keeper" (3*). In 2024 Dare has exciting upcoming projects including a 190ft public art sculpture in Durham, NC, an upcoming release of Jessica Care Moore's "Her Crown Shines: For Ketanji Brown Jackson" and a second book with Kwame Alexander. While Dare is pursuing her dream of creating monumental sculptures to black joy all over the world, she is having a great time visiting schools and painting murals, and sharing her passion for art with the world.
