I am a multidisciplinary artist creating digital illustrations, vector art, 3D modelling and traditional art (oil and acrylic paintings). I am a self-taught artist with a background in Pharmacology. My art is created with influences from her Nigerian background, exploring themes such as traditional music, fashion, textiles, and cultural events.
I grew up painting with acrylics and creating art with colouring pencils in my spare time. A huge inspiration to my work was taking a cartoon drawing sessions in secondary school for a term. From this, I continued to draw in my spare time and experimented with charcoal, different paints and oil pastels. In 2021, I downloaded a digital art app and this is where my illustration journey began. Since 2021, I has explored and perfected her craft; So far I have used Vector illustrations, 3d modelling and digital illustrations to explore and portray my Nigerian culture.
