About

Hello, I am Amsa Yaro and welcome to my little corner studio in the vast world of the internet.

Growing up in a middle class northern Nigerian home, I was exposed to wonderful things that influenced my life. My love for local soups like Kukah, the bark of the Baobab tree,  our version of beef jerky, Kilishi, getting to travel to different states to visit family members and that one year stop at Yankari Game reserve that was my version of Disney world. I was introduced to different worlds through photo books that my father brought back from his travels and the t.v was always on, showing different indian movies that played at the background.

As my siblings and I got older, life didn’t spare us from her rollercoster. Dreams had to take second place as society, economy and expectations came with responsibilities. After studying journalism and working as a journalist for many years, I found myself in a space in time which felt like limbo. But this space gave me the chance to dive back head first into what I have always wanted to do: Arts…and all of it.

Because I felt like  lost so much time, like a sponge, I have been taking everything I can about techniques, from watercolor to sculpting, from still-life to abstract, ever growing and evolving my craft.

Living as a mixed media artist now, It would be my pleasure to share  my evolution with you here in my blog. Please join me on on-going projects such as my Queen of Hearts All Year Challenge, tutorials, my process of making art pieces and wall candy. This is where sculpting, painting, creativity, passion, color, bits and pieces clash to make the world I dove into head first.

Please enjoy this journey into my world. Thank you.

April came loaded for me. My people of @yayaskitchenldnont told me "Yetunde" was shining her eye at Williams and York and I had to go find her😁😁.
Thank you @cbclondonont ...
You can't see the shoes but I wore them😁😁. Thank you to all that logged on to the soft opening of #BVAExhibitionldnont , it was a pleasure being your virtual guide. In the coming weeks, we will be chatting with the artists like @simplyevarest @mk_oojo @customsbyjanelle and more whose art works are on display at @somerville630ldn till April30th.
Today is the dayyyyy💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃as we cordially invite you to the Online Soft Opening of the Black Visual Arts Exhibition co-curated by The Black London Project and Amsa Yaro at the Somerville630 Space (630 Dundas, St. London, ON). Please click on the eventbrite link to register to attend.
As much as a soft opening is not what we planned or even wanted (was so ready to break out some new shoes I have been desperate to show off) the Black Visual Arts Exhibition still starts on Saturday, 3rd April 2021, 7pm-9pm to 30th April, 2021.
Testing, testing, mic check 1, 2, 1, 2...How every naija emcee lets you know that yes, they now have the mic🤣🤣.
