About Me
- Uchiwali Tha ExtraTerrestrial
- aka Ogechi began hand-painting abstract designs on fabric in her childhood with her grandmother, Geraldyne Hill using craft fabric paint squeeze bottles. During her freshman in high school she was introduced to a xerox/acrylic image transfer method by the painter Lynn Marshall Linnemeyer. From this initiation she moved through the paint media over the years from stencil, spray paint, silk-screen finally to directly painting designs and text on-to the fabric with acrylic paint. Ogechi's has experimented with surfaces ranging from cardboard and wood, to Mylar and photographs for her paintings and drawings. As a graduate student, her work drew the attention from Marlboro Gallery in NYC. Returning to the early playfulness of with the usage of craft paint squeeze bottles was a liberating process for Ogechi. It was here that she fused all of the sophisticated techniques in acrylic and she acquired through years of practice.
