Austin-based contemporary figurative painter and multidisciplinary artist Kemba Najuma Opio, utilizes a range of mediums such as illustration, painting, mixed-media,
photography, and most recently, sculptural metal, aiming to explore the beauty and complexities

her work, which incorporates patterns and written text on striking figurative images or subjects,
blends tradition with contemporary expression.
