Having Elisha on this website is something I’m very proud of. I mean, look at the quality of his work. I was stunned when I stumbled upon it on an art-selling platform. I contacted him right away. Initially, we had scheduled a call at 10:30 AM (Nigerian time), which meant 2:30 AM my time (Canadian time). When I woke at 4 AM and realized that I had missed our call, I called him immediately and he agreed to reschedule our call for noon (Canadian time) to make it more convenient for me.

Then we did have a very nice conversation on the phone. Elisha shared his artistic journey and mindset with me, especially how he kept pushing forward despite how negatively some people perceived his art, and he gave me wonderful insights about art in general. And, to top it all off, he accepted to be part of the ARTssembly and strongly encouraged me to make it grow and not give up my art. I’m so honored and grateful he decided to put his trust in me. Thank you so much, Elisha.
