Born in Lagos, Nigeria in 1962, Kike studied Creative Arts at the University of Lagos, Nigeria in 1992. She relocated briefly to Cotonou in the Republic of Benin in 1996, moving back to Nigeria two years later in 1998. Thereafter, Kike proceeded to study Business Administration at the same tertiary institution, the University of Lagos, Nigeria in 1999. After years of venturing into textile, fabric, sculptural and decorative arts amidst brief stints in selling management consulting services, she finally settled down to prioritize on her dominant passion, abstract painting. Then, Kike launched Xpress Art Studio in neighboring Ogun State bordering the suburbs of metropolitan Lagos, the commercial nerve center of Nigeria in West Africa. Much later in 2018, she successfully completed the New York-based Museum of Modern Art's course on Post-War Abstract Painting, followed that same year by her participation in another program on “Modern Art and Ideas” by the same institution. In 2020, she featured in the We Believe You Exhibition, a virtual group exhibition in Nigeria. Kike's works that are in stock are placed on display at GX Art Gallery in Ogun State, Nigeria.
