"HAPPINESS IS FREE" Painting

My name is Chidozie tochukwu stephen also known as teezi. I'm a professional artist focused on telling stories and capturing moments with my art. Born and raised in Nigeria. I started creating art from a very young age and the obsession grew quickly after that. The distraction of creating art got me through some of the darkest years of my life. It gave me the confidence and voice I needed that I couldn’t find anywhere else.” I was born and raised in the central part of Nigeria, jos plateau state. I speak English fluently. i studied polymer engineering in the federal University of technology owerri. This is where my journey for art all started, with the amazing support of my friends and colleagues. It wasn't easy balancing engineering school and my love for art. But I slowly fell in love with the process, and this journey has helped me a lot in my everyday life. I was able to create an escape from the reality that we face every day.
