Nkolika is an experienced family physician and a self-taught artist, who draws inspiration from her daily contact with patients and from the world around her.
Her art has been sold around the world and has been exhibited in several art exhibitions including at the Medical Art Society Exhibition, held at the Royal Society of London and at the Royal Dutch Medical Association (KNMG) Pincet & Penseel 2nd Art Exhibition in Holland.
By fusing her artistic talents with her role as a doctor, she has been described as someone in whom art and medicine can be said to co-exist.
“ It is amazing how colours can be used to convey messages and create a depth that uplifts the soul. ”
She applies the experience gained from living and working in various cultures around the world; along with several years of experience as a Hospital physician, in her role as a Generalist and Family physician.
As part of her spirit of service, she runs educational sessions for her local Igbo community and several ethnic minority-focused charity organisations where she addresses BAME Health related topics.
As a physician and an artist, she is very passionate about the role of the arts in enhancing physician-patient relationships and has given several talks about how being a practising artist has helped shape her journey as a physician and how art has made her a better doctor.
She loves amongst other things; the sunshine, optimistic people, nature, classical music, learning new things, challenges, nice things (must not be expensive!), Jesus, wearing a crucifix, playing volleyball as well as spending time with the elderly (they are so full of wisdom).
She lives on the south coast of England with her husband with whom she co-founded 3 beautiful angels.
