My name is Nic Mensah-Dika,
I am an artist based in South London.
I studied at Middlesex and Goldsmiths Universities where I
achieved a BA (Hons) Textiles and an MA Textiles,
respectively.
I specialise in creating textiles using Batik techniques. I
gain my inspiration from nature and people to design and
create original pieces of fabric to be used in contemporary
clothing. I also express my art in a more traditional
method using oil and watercolour paints along with
papier-mâché sculpture.
I am involved in part-time teaching and conduct workshops
on a voluntary basis to promote my artwork and the
traditional methods of Batik.
I conduct community projects to support Black youth, people
with disabilities, job seekers and for those seeking
further education in Art and Design.
