About me:
My name is Adelaide Damoah and I am an artist. I also have a studio at Second Floor in London. I make figurative oil paintings and am currently exploring story telling using figures with text on the painting surface.

The Art Success series of interviews started off in 2011 with written interviews for my blog. I started this project because coming from a science/business background, I had to rethink what success looked like to me and wanted to figure out what it took to become that in this unique business. In talking to other artists in this way on camera, I hope to pass on useful information to other artists and art lovers. Fellow artists can watch and learn from their contemporaries and art lovers can discover new artists and art. Of course, there is the added benefit of promoting my colleagues to new audiences.
Please subscribe to stay up to date with interviews and my art Vlogs.
