Biography

Tomiwa Omokanye, known professionally as Kanye Tomiwa, is a multi-dimensional artist based in Maryland, USA. Born in Nigeria on April 21, 1991, Tomiwa creates sculptural relief paintings using wine corks as his primary medium. His artistic journey began with a foundation in architecture, earning both a BSc and MSc in Architecture. Over time, his focus shifted toward transforming ecological waste into art, blending sustainability with storytelling to create works that resonate deeply with cultural and environmental consciousness.

Artist Statement

Kanye Tomiwa’s art reimagines wine corks as vessels of memory, emotion, and transformation. Each cork tells a story—a moment of celebration, reflection, or shared communion. His work captures the essence of human connection, honoring the shared rituals of toasts and gatherings that bind us to those we love and respect.

Through his sculptures, Kanye explores themes of commemoration, second chances, and new beginnings. His art reflects humanity’s resilience and the power of transformation, turning discarded materials into symbols of hope and renewal. By breathing life into wine corks destined for waste, he crafts intricate surfaces that embody both tactile beauty and profound meaning.

Grounded in a commitment to combating climate change, Kanye’s work emphasizes sustainability and the repurposing of non-degradable materials. Each piece serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to the planet while celebrating the timeless power of memory, connection, and storytelling.

Cheese + Wine Pairing with Atwater's

We are excited to partner with Atwater’s of Baltimore for a guided wine and cheese pairing experience in the tasting room, led by Graham, one of their cheese mongers. We will taste through a selection of Atwater's homemade cheese and 5 Dodon wines, including a perfect pairing for our newest release, Rhizome!

Graham has been in the food industry for her entire working career, and in the cheese making business for 3.5 years. Graham says, “It was an unexpected, but very welcome blessing!” She began working in the Atwater’s cheese department on a part time basis, but now is a full time cheese monger and has helped cultivate thousands of pounds of cheese of all different varieties. Her favorite is the gouda, but don’t tell the other cheeses that!

Seating is limited and reservations are required.
