I am A Designer/Patterncutter who has previously worked in couture and tailoring and have taught patterncutting for as long as I have been in fashion. I am also an illustrator and fine artist and teach beginners.
My name is B. Oluwafemi, a Fine Artist, and a major promoter of African arts. I hail from Ijumu local government area of Kogi state Nigeria with a Degree in Fine Arts (specialty in Art History). I am currently running my Masters in Fine Arts at the UniversityFor The Creative Arts Farnham UK. I also run the Artmazing studios where we offer a wide range of services from murals, graffiti, illustrations, digital arts, body arts and art consultancy with the sole goal of promoting African Arts.
I grew up in Zaria, Kaduna where I got my Degree from Ahmadu Bello University. I began my career as a Makeup Artist after completing my National youth service assignment in Daura, Katsina state and subsequently decided to go into full time art practice. I have always been an experimental person and in my artistry, I decided to infuse Traditional African Art into urban arts to create an Afro-centric modern synergy. My works can attest to this. From completion of my NYSC till date I have worked on several commissioned art projects in Abuja. Some of these projects can be seen in popular locations I Abuja like Jabi Boat Club, Discovery Museum, Trukadero, The Nigerian Air Force, Barlance Abuja, Whiskey Mistress, Nigerian Naval Recreation Center, The Rochas Foundation but the highlight will have to be a graffiti job commissioned for the Queen’s Birthday.
I am also a renowned body artist, stretching the boundaries with lines and African motifs using the human skin as a canvas, to create beautiful and stunning patterns. I have been hosted in several exhibitions and fairs where I worked on body art models and enthusiasts.
I work from my studio space/office where you will mostly always find me sketching out designs on my iPad or painting on a canvas. As far as inspiration, I pick inspiration from any and everything, ranging from works of artists I revere to a simple conversation.
Art is my one sole primary focus and that is why I always seek to give it my all. Art is a voice to me, my form of expression, it speaks when I have no words. It is the easiest way I pass messages on lots of issues. I plan to contribute to my field by using art to tell my African story and discovering new and improved ways to better my country, continent and the world at large.
I have multiple qualifications in Art, Media and Design subjects and have taught Design and Technology at KS3, 4, 5 for over 13 years. I have been a Subject Leader and am currently an Assistant Progress Leader in an Art and Design Secondary School.
I am happy to tutor KS3 and 4 online, specialising in the new 1-9 DT GCSE's. We can focus on specific areas or we can look at general concepts such as tone and shading, rendering, theory work or whatever else you feel that you are struggling with.
I do not offer meeting up in person, it will be totally online based. I charge £25 for a full hour or £12 for 30 mins. Payments will need to be made to my paypal account BEFORE the lesson takes place. If for any reason there are internet issues I am happy to reschedule, there will be no additional charges for this. The areas you wish to be tutored in or discussed need to be agreed by email at least 24 hours before the session- this is for your own benefit, so that I can have all the necessary resources available prior to the session.
