In this episode, I speak with Rewa Udoji a finance professional and visual artist from Nigeria. Rewa over the last five years has become a globally celebrated visual artist whose heritage-inspired art has been featured in fairs, museum, and gallery exhibitions across Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America.

We talk about her career in management consulting working as a finance expert and how that has influenced her art practice where she approaches it as a business.  She talks about the duality of approaching her work with diligence as her time remains limited. 

Rewa also shares:

• her goal is to make her work included in the art history dialogue about Africa and specifically Nigeria
• her son learning about history through her work 
• documenting and record keeping to serve the purpose of canonizing her work
• creative problem solving 
• her stained glass effect of painting skin tones for work
• choosing titles for her pieces 
• the story of her pink party series
