Sani Rotimi Nwankwo
Self-taught embroidery artist
- 🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria
- Central Gallery
- Since 1988
- English, Igbo
I work mostly in embroidery, sometimes graphic design. My first show was in 1988 at Central Gallery, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
Most of my work is inspired by my grandmother's kitchen. I volunteer at the food bank on Saturdays.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

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