Art by Tayo

About

My name is Stephanie Tayo. I am an artist.

I began my art journey at a very young age and it has been exciting to say the least. The main inspiration behind most of my personal work has alot to do with my identity.

Beyond the canvas, I am fascinated with software development. As a Software developer, I thrive in the dynamic environment of problem-solving and algorithmic thinking.
