Growing up with a father who was a professional artist deeply shaped my journey into creating. From a young age, I was immersed in an environment where creativity wasn’t just encouraged—it was a way of life. Our home was filled with canvases, brushes, paints, and sculptures, each telling its own story. I had constant access to a variety of artistic mediums, from traditional acrylics and watercolors to more unconventional materials, sparking endless curiosity.

Watching my father work was like witnessing magic. I saw firsthand how art was more than just technique—it was passion, discipline, and a profound form of self-expression. He shared his love for Africa, where much of his inspiration came from, weaving cultural narratives and natural beauty into his art. His stories and creations inspired me to see art as a powerful tool for connection and purpose.

Being surrounded by the creative process made art feel second nature to me. Over time, I discovered my voice through crafting personalized, meaningful pieces that celebrate individuality and connection. This artistic upbringing became the foundation for Purpose Creations by Nia, where I channel those early lessons into designs that make people feel loved, appreciated, and celebrated just as my father did for me.
