My art is a reflection of my personal journey, shaped by resilience, healing, and empowerment. Growing up in Nigeria, in a large family of 13 with limited resources, I learned the value of hard work early on, supporting myself through various jobs to pursue an education. In my late twenties, I discovered art as a means of expression and therapy during the pandemic. My self-taught practice became a sanctuary where I could channel complex emotions, including the challenges I’ve faced with bipolar disorder. Art, for me, is not just a medium of creation but a space for transformation, where I turn struggle into strength.
Through my work, I explore themes of identity, resilience, and empowerment—particularly through the lens of women’s experiences. My ongoing series, My Lady Series, celebrates the resilience of women, using symbolic imagery to tell stories of empowerment in the face of adversity. My creative practice also extends beyond the studio, as I engage in outreach to orphanages, using art as a tool for healing and self-discovery.
I believe in the power of art to heal, to inspire, and to transform lives. My journey from survival to self-expression, coupled with my belief in the importance of personal growth, fuels the messages of strength and self-empowerment in my work.
