ARTIST STATEMENT: I am being constantly inspired by my unquenchable thirst to preserve and project the African culture in the global arena. Through my art, I am unrepentantly determined to give beauty to the sight; heal emotional and psychological wounds; emphasize love; preach peaceful co-existence; highlight societal ills and injustices; advocate for the teeming poor; unite families and bind lesions that are occasioned by inevitable disagreements; educate the African youths about her brave legends; reconcile the Blacks with her beautiful roots; and magnify the heavenly creator for His wonderful creations. While unravelling her under-appreciated pasts through my practice, I also narrate the Blacks unscripted socio-economic stages of developments. My works also deliberately mirrors and reflects the unpalatable plights of the poor, the predicaments of a typical African woman, the quagmire of the many out-of-school children and the frustration of the teeming homeless. Coupling modern education with being an intrinsic Artist from a modest background makes my ethos relatable, It would also suffice to say that my Art covers such aspects as: nature, still life, portraiture, landscape, seascape, abstract, etc.
