This week on Chasing Artists with XENJA, we chat with fashion illustrator and artist Phoebe Ouma about her desire to share an African experience through her creative works.
Guest Bio
My name is Phoebe Ouma and I've loved art & fashion from a very young age. It's become an integral part of my life and I'd love to share that world with you.
I specialize in lifestyle, fashion & family illustrations.
I grew up in the outskirts of Nairobi, moved to Iowa when I was four and came back to Nairobi when I was ten years old.
I now reside in Nairobi Kenya full-time and absolutely love it!
My work is inspired by the constant need to live vicariously through my work, relive beautiful moments seen in fashion and real life. I'd like you to have an African experience influenced by a global perspective when you see my creations.
I grew up not seeing much of people who looked like me in the magazines I consumed. I'm determined to provide a different perspective for women of color.
