Deeva Of The Week - Stacey Ejiroghene Okparavero

She's young, she's intelligent, she's smart and she's very creative and she fits perfectly to who a deeva is.

Ms Stacey Ejiroghene Okparavero hails from Ethiope East Local Government of Delta State. Born on the 1st of March, 1991, she is the first born of her parents. As a child, Stacey grew up loving art and developed keen interest in colours and drawings; she always topped her arts class. Then she graduated from the University of Lagos where she studied visual arts [painting major]. 

As a versatile artist, well rounded in visual art, music and acting, she has a very feminine and impressionistic approach to her paintings, and is fond of watercolour and pastel. Her love for nature and beauty is evident in her works. She won the Best Pastel Artist Award in May 2011, during an art entrepreneurship workshop sponsored by OYASAF.  She has participated in numerous exhibitions and art events. She believes that art is in everything that we do, and that a masterpiece lies in the little things that we miss. Art indeed is life and vice-versa.
