Ronke Titilayo Igwe

Embroidery and textiles artist

🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria
Little Epe Art Collective
Since 1980
English, Hausa

I got into embroidery as a hobby and somewhere along the way it became the thing I do every day. Most of my work is inspired by the people on my bus route. I bake for the whole street at New Year. Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.

More about Ronke

I've had 14 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.
