Head Above Water by Ama Muotoh in London

I am a self taught artist who has seen art as something I wanted to see myself improve in, a stress reliever and a gift. I also work with different media but ideally I enjoy traditional painting. As an artist it is essential for me to explore and use different materials in order to convey ideas and address important topics. I am a fine art student at UAL Chelsea College of Arts in London. I have created illustrative paintings for an African literary magazine called Illino Media. They bring together African creatives, poets, novelist and visual artists to bring to life literary works made by Africans. I mostly create the illustrations for short stories when I’m not working on a painting. I also teach people of all ages at an art studio as well as bring peoples creative visions and ideas to reality!
