I am a German-born Nigerian artist living in England, and my art practice highlights the experiences and complex beauty of what it means to be a Black woman. I am also the voice behind She Stands Firm, a Women of Colour empowerment platform which strives to champion the voices of underrepresented women.
I graduated from the University of Reading having studied Art & English Literature. At University, I was awarded the Owen Ridley Degree Show Prize for outstanding undergraduate work.
