Through the body of works which are mostly in semi-abstract; that is representational art, rendered in pointillism, mosaic and some in mixed media executed with Acrylic paint & Pastel and some works in Pen &Ink, Ronke who is especially inspired by the African woman in society tries to address various issues.
