OREANDA-NEWS. Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) recently commissioned Atlanta-based artist Keith Rosemond II to create six original illustrations depicting the African American experience. The personal stories were selected from #MyUntold?, the company’s online-storytelling collection which provides the African American community an opportunity to share stories reflecting their cultural identity. Wells Fargo will surprise the six storytellers with Rosemond’s original illustrations, and feature additional designs from Rosemond on debit and credit card designs through Wells Fargo’s Card Design Studio® service.

“We’ve collected hundreds of stories through the #MyUntold campaign. People are genuinely moved by the opportunity to have their voices heard and become part of a movement that deepens cultural awareness,” said Lisa Frison, vice president, African

American segment strategy leader, Wells Fargo. “We continue to explore new ways to connect with communities in meaningful ways – and in this case we’re excited to support local artists like Keith to help us bring these rich stories to life in other mediums.”

Rosemond has formal training as an illustrator and graphic designer from the Savannah College of Art and Design and has an appreciation for both traditional and contemporary art.  According to the artist, he creates artwork that blends two great passions: spiritual growth and music. “I am honored to work with Wells Fargo to memorialize some of the inspirational #MyUntold stories,” said Rosemond. “The intersection of oral and visual storytelling is powerful and I’m proud that my artwork is associated with this program.”
