Damiloju's Canvas

Damiloju Yomi-Adeyemi is a 18 year old budding artist. The 2nd of 3 children, Dami was diagnosed with autism at 4. She has always been a happy child with bouts of hyperactivity, which, thankfully, have now been controlled.

Dami’s love for creative arts was discovered at her school, Manna Children’s Centre. Her interests in art and music, in addition to constant intervention in speech and cognition, motor skill development, nutrition and occupational therapy have helped her build independence and abilities to adequately cope in our world.  

Dami participated in her first exhibition during the Art in Autism Exhibition in April 2023. Her artworks were a n instant hit, selling  off a lot of her paintings. One of her works, ‘MOTION’ was awarded the Emily Uttley’s Judge’s Choice during the ArtWorks Together 2023 Exhibition in South Yorkshire in September 2023.
