Dawn Okoro - Artist Extraordinaire

























Check out these striking images from up and coming artist, Dawn Okoro. She hails from Houston, Texas born, to an African-American mother and Nigerian father. Her background may have inspired her eclectic designs but whatever the case Okoro possesses a talent that is uniquely expressive. She's also quite ambitious, having received both a BA from the University of Texas at Austin, and a law degree from Texas Southern University. She has an affinity for producing figurative art, and the ones that grab my attention depict women in various and sometimes provocative poses. Her edgy pieces are showcased throughout the U.S. and also internationally. She is also gaining a huge celebrity following. She is currently based in New York. To learn more visit dawnokoro.com.
