“I am a ceramist and a painter. Art has been a part of my life since I was a kid, from painting eggs in kindergarten for eastern to making teacups with my friend at her house to painting and drawing with my art and craft kit. My artworks are influenced by the women around me and in the world, Africa, and nature. As an artist, my goal is to visually depict stories in my artwork.”
