Deime’ Ubani (b.1988) is a multi-disciplinary Bahamian artist of Nigerian and Barbadian descent living and working in New Providence, Bahamas. Her mixed heritage influences her love of color and use of varying mediums: acrylics, oil pastels, oil stains, magazine clippings, wood, canvas, found objects, and epoxy resin. Her brightly colored, out-of-the-box work meshes the gap between time, effects, and memory that highlights her bi-heritage - while keeping "the balance" she always seeks and thus prioritizes. Although she works in varying styles, she is best known for her abstraction; her free flow is the foundation and fundamental element of all  her creations regardless of theme.

Deime’ Ubani (b.1988) is a Bahamian artist of Nigerian and Barbadian descent living and working in New Providence, The Bahamas. Ubani's bright color palette, in conjunction with her experimentation with different materials (acrylics, oil pastels, oil stains, magazine clippings, and epoxy resin on canvas or wood) are influenced by her multi-heritage. Predominantly falling under abstract contemporary, she however works in a wide range of styles and themes. This resourcefulness is common to those in the diasporic region that are trying to find and understand themselves in their place of existence. A descendant of successive generations of foreigners, she meshes the gap between time, location and its effects as she tries to understand her relatively new diasporic maternal heritage only dating back to the early 1900's in comparison to her uninterrupted paternal heritage dating back for hundred of years, she navigates trying to find peace and belonging in either. Nurtured by other creative maternal family members, locally and internationally - such as her late uncle, African American artist Philemon Reid (VA, OR) - she decided upon graduating from St. Augustine's College to attend the College of The Bahamas, now University of The Bahamas , pursuing her art degree. Since obtaining her degree she has worked as a freelance artist, showcasing her fine art under Ubani Artworks and most recently, a custom home decor and family game brand called Big Wood Bahamas. Her work has been featured by The D’Aguilar Art Foundation, The Central Bank of The Bahamas, Deltec Bank, Equity Bank, The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas, The Current Gallery and Art Center, The Salus Project Gallery, The Ladder Gallery, Traveller's West Gallery, Fusion Superplex Gallery, and the SeeMe Art Takes Times Square art show. Her pieces were also among those chosen as part of the interior design of guest rooms at the Baha Mar resort in the nation’s capital. She campaigns for more artistic opportunities in her country by hosting and curating open calls for local artists since 2019.
