A bout
the Artist
Vera
Akotuah attended London College of Fashion and studied Fashion
Design. She is a self taught Artist and has a great interest in
the human form in ways in which style and creativity can be expressed.
" I enjoy
working with dry mediums like pastel and charcoal because they
are quick and instant. I like studying, shading, tonal values
and blending and dry mediums allow you to explore this. Because
of my Fashion background my works all have a stylish flair about
them. I enjoy art and feel it is a great way to make your mark
and express your creativity"
