Why Am I An Artist? It is like a fulfillment of a fantasy/destiny when I make an artwork from scratch (from imagination or inspiration). My heart is filled with joy as you would feel if you get a happy news that you’ve been anxious to hear. So I am an endorphin ‘addict’ and, art gives me the ‘quick fix’ my soul need (a healthy addition that enable me to spend countless hours and days just to produce a pleasant artwork). I also get this positive energy when I make portraits too. Art is my passion, that’s why I make and love them! |

Profile My name is Ife’ka Terry. I live in Nigeria where I started my career making portraits. Over the years, I have come to be known for my drawings, paintings, and collages. I have been drawing from an early age but, when I was 12 year old, my father introduced me to a man I only know as ‘Old Ohaness’ (a Master in drawing) who showed me a few ways to improve my drawings. That is how I acquired the basic skills I have in drawing. I later developed my skills through practices. My trademark watercolor and collage are both self taught. I have come up with a new and unique style or technique in making my paintings. Even though I am not a full time artist, I own an art studio called Tugi’s. In 2008, some of my trademark paintings were on display at the National Gallery of Art (NGA) part of the Federal Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Bauchi, Nigeria. I am a member of the Society of Nigerian Artist (SNA) which organizes some major exhibitions both within and outside Africa. Locally (where I live) people are more interested in portraits of themselves than any other type of art. I make a lot of personalized portraits and my client list ranges from University Student to Army General. |

Brand Tugi’s Tugi’s are the initials of my names Terry-U-G-Ife’ka. I have been answering Tugi’s as a nick name from my high-school years and usually sign most of my artworks “Tugi’s”. It is my signature.
