About

My name is Richard Ayodeji Ikhide, born in Lagos, Nigeria. I moved to England at the age of 14, then studied art within my A-Levels. I went to Central Saint Martins where I specialised in Print Design. After graduating I found that the textile industry was not for me and I saw my textile work as visual art rather than design. I then went on to study at the Royal Drawing School to re-invent myself as a Fine Artist.
