I decided to allow myself to do something I enjoyed. So I painted a surreal portrait capturing how I felt about myself at the time - alienated and beaming with untapped potential.

An overly bias close friend was so hype about it and showed it off to all his people like a proud mama. A mutual friend looked at it, looked at me, and said a few words that altered my life's trajectory entirely.

"You can feed yourself with this".

And he was right. Ten years later, I am still using my creativity paired with my education and experience of business marketing and management to monetize my existence.

My art has carried me through many eras, and what began as an outlet of expression, transformed into a conversation. Through my surreal paintings I learn so much about myself and more about you. How you perceive the art, your style, what resonates with you, how it reflects in your life and emotional state has allowed me to connect deeper with you than before. So let's keep that going.

You have supported, purchased and shared the artistry by Jaiye as I have transitioned through different forms of art, expression and products (explore byJaiye.com to learn more ;)

Allow me to show my appreciation!
