She also draws inspiration from her dreams and life experience for several of her aesthetic motifs. Her performances as the Goddess of Osun are expressed through folklore figures.

Along with teaching rural women at her workshop how to dye cloth with indigo, she also conveys beliefs and societal conventions that are imposed on women through her designs.
