artist with a second studio in Cannes, France, creates watercolors and ink drawings which have a light, almost translucent quality, rich in symbol and layered in soft hues and meaning. She is best known for focusing on the female ethos with a unique style that draws on the asymmetrical, two dimensional culture of traditional Igbo female body adornment called uli. She uses uli inspired colors, patterns and symbols to comment on the pressures and joys of universal womanhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She first became fascinated by the intricate uli tattoos on women and symbols on traditional architecture as a child during the Nigerian civil war. This fascination was later enhanced while studying art at the University of Nigeria in Nsukka, under the mentorship of Professors Uche Okeke and Obiora Udechukwu who brought the Uli Art movement into global focus. Today her rich, ephemeral works and poetry touch on themes such as fertility, beauty, affirmation and wonder.&#8221; <strong>Sandra Mbanefo Obiago, art curator and collector, Temple Muse,
