Artist Statement.
“In a world where mind, and empathy can negatively change at a time, I choose my art as a tone vehicle that allows your thoughts, feelings flow free. My painting was like watery mud that split in different directions whenever stepping on it. So, my art split touching me and whosoever engaged in the different or same perspective. African motive pattern inspired, I decided to showcase my uniqueness in culture and beautification of African motive pattern. My goals are to let it be appreciated and add more value to it through my work (style). I work with acrylic on canvas, I like to capture the feelings of African ladies, and their posture allows me to express myself with different ideas.”
