I am both an artist and an entrepreneur. A graduate of graphic design from the University of Benin, Nigeria. I started paintings many years ago but had to stop due to my appointment as the head of creative in a bank. The painting became a part time until I left the bank two years ago and started full time as a painter, art collector, art tutor, gallery owner. I recently moved to York, England.

I started painting as early as 1984. My medium is mostly water colours but at times dabble into acrylic, oil painting, pencil and charcoal drawings and gouache. During my sojourn in the banking sector in Lagos Islands, I took over 100,000 pictures of Lagos and other locations in Nigeria and then use them as painting references. I also paint nature and figures. I have participated in some exhibitions in Nigeria. I love teaching. To support art, I have engaged in some life coaching and teaching of some young artist in my gallery. I have a gallery in Lagos, Nigeria where some of my works and other collected works are displayed for sale. Presently, I paint from my home in York, United Kingdom.
