THE VERSATILE REBEL
I own my creative space unapologetically. My creative space is my empire and I am the emperor. I direct the canvas and the brush whichever way I like till I get my desired result. I don’t like being told what to do with my creativity. When it comes to art, I can be as rebellious […]
Uchennaya: The Beauty And Her Painting Brush
I would rather sit around sketching my fantasies than actually help do house chores. That was how indulged I was in my art as a child. Chinelo, my sister, and I would sketch houses and people as kids and that was our own little way of having fun. It was a priceless memory of my […]

Etinosa Yvonne: Using Her ‘Superpowers’ to Dig Up Untold Stories
My perception about photography changed right from the day I followed up a story about a lady with vesicovaginal fistula.

FROM A MAKEUP ARTIST TO A DUCHESS OF DISGUISE!
My journey into beauty and imitation makeup started about five years ago. It was spontaneous because I have always being artistic and very creative.

PERFECTLY COMBINING ARTS AND MEDICINE
I remember the memories of drawing cartoon characters, especially Mickey Mouse and Popeye. I was fond of using jumbo markers to create designs in my school exercise books. Sometimes, I could be restless to the extent that I have to look for any available paper to express myself. I loved gumming papers together to create […]
