My name is Nkem.

Welcome to my virtual home.

I was born an artist, seeing and feeling the world through a fractal lens and feeling the pull to create what I saw in my mind, or felt in my body, in the outer world.

Part of my artistic nature is a sense of adventure and exploration — a sense that has taken me to different corners and crevices of the world, through living in 7 countries and visiting over 30 (so far). All to feel the intense and unique sensation that accompanies art-making: the weaving of wisdom through dreams and lived experiences.

My artistic nature is a way of being.

It calls for simplicity and spaciousness.

For Truth.

My Truth of this time is that I am a wandering, flowing soul, deeply connected to my intuition, inner guidance, and Eros. I glean wisdom from essence — like the deep, soulful notes of an afternoon breeze in a Southern California Autumn.

In fact, it is nature that truly inspires me; She Herself is grounded in her wandering, connective, flowing aspect. If I consider all my creations to date, Gaia's influence —the influence of the Divine Mother — is deeply embedded.

So, that's what I explore through art: Sacred Feminine flow, inner wisdom, the natural world, sensation and Eros, and authenticity.


In all this, I find myself continually in practice with what has always mattered to me: connection and community, freedom, joy, Love, learning, passion, and pleasure.

This space here is a manifestation of my grounding. Planting. Rooting. Growing. Blooming. Dying. And doing it all over again.

Throughout this space, you'll find pieces and parts of me including my writing via My way with words. And my artistic expression, photography, visual art, and how I express my purpose through the healing arts and creative embodiment guidance via bynkem studio.

In the end, I intend to support myself and people around the world in our sacred practice of authentic creative expression.
