Deime’ Ubani was born in Nassau, Bahamas in 1988. Being of Bahamian, Barbadian, and Nigerian descent provided a colorful heritage that influences her love for using art to capture memories, cultural heritage and generational legacy. Throughout her early years, Deime’ was always drawn to abstracts even if she did not yet know art in theory she soon discovered different colors could be used to evoke different feelings of emotions. Her interest in the arts was encouraged by close family members. Her grandmother; a beautician by trade was also a ceramist who loved knitting large quilts for each family member. Coming from a line of creatives; grandmother’s house was decorated with artwork varying in mediums from past generations also.
After graduating from high school, Deime’ opted to attend the former College of The Bahamas, now University of The Bahamas, and obtained her Associates degree in Art in 2009. She then began to delve deeper into abstraction and continues to use various mediums to obtain the balance that she prioritizes in her pieces.
Deime’ work has been featured by The D’Aguilar Art Foundation, The Central Bank of The Bahamas, the Salus Project, and the SeeMe Art Takes Times Square art show (2013). In June of 2014, her pieces were among those chosen as part of the interior design of the Baha Mar resort in the nation’s capital. You can browse some of her past works through Ubani Artworks on social media platforms. Deime’ still lives and works in Nassau, Bahamas, as she constantly draws inspiration from home in the past and in the present.
