What is your favorite type of art to create?

In my current work, I'm exploring themes of representation and magical realism with the aspiration of escaping through happiness: gratitude and celebration. I also value upcycled art through quilt making.

Where do you find inspiration?

Music is appreciated. Doodling while self-reflecting , philosophy on human nature/connecting, and my surroundings.

What would you do with $25,000?

I’d donate free arts and craft supplies to schools, orphanage homes, retirement homes, help fund an art program, assist some nonprofits, cater to my immediate family in Nigeria and more.
