A Nigerian by birth, I am a graduate of Biochemistry department University of Benin. I am a self thought artist who is passionate about the beauty of nature and our fragile earth. I major in landscape and abstracts also portraiture, seascape and still life. pastel is my choice for painting because of its unique blend. impressionism has been a style I admire and use a lot.
As a self trained artist, it wasn’t easy at first but determination kept me pushing. I started drawing at a tender age and built skills over time. I would spend more time painting while I was in university instead of studying biochemistry. Encouragement from friends,especially family, kept me on track.
I have my works displayed in the hall of the secondary school I attended. Also some in the church i used to attend while in university. Other works are displayed and collected by private collectors including a former chairman of a leading bank in Nigeria (United Bank for Africa), Chief Israel C. Ogbue.
