Jumoke Blessing Okonkwo

Printmaking and ceramics artist

🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria
Ibadan Art Collective
Since 1991
English, Igbo

I work mostly in printmaking, sometimes ceramics. My first show was in 1991 at Ibadan Art Collective, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog. I try to remember everyone's name. My studio is always a bit of a mess. Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.

More about Jumoke

If you've bought a piece of mine, thank you. It's on someone's wall and that still amazes me.

What gifts mean to Jumoke: Any gift helps me keep the free Saturday class running.
