TM Art Academy was founded by Michael Tansi Aiyede, a passionate artist, teacher, and visionary.

Born into a family of three as the only male child, Michael discovered his love for drawing at the early age of five. Though it began as a simple childhood curiosity, that creative spark never left. As he grew older, so did his passion for art—until it became something more than a hobby: it became a calling.

His artistic journey took a significant turn when he enrolled in a professional art course at Kc Studio, under the mentorship of his instructor Mr. Ferdinand Lamai. This marked the true beginning of his career in visual art. It was during this time that his skills were sharpened, his passion deepened, and his purpose became clearer.

Michael didn’t just want to create art—he wanted to teach it. He realized that his gift wasn’t just in drawing, but in helping others discover and grow their own artistic potential. Teaching became a natural extension of his art, and that passion gave birth to TM Art Academy.

Founded in 2020, TM Art Academy was born out of a vision:

 To inspire, train, and raise young artists who have a passion for drawing but lack guidance or opportunity.

The academy was built to be more than a place of learning—it is a home for creativity, a community of visionaries, and a platform where purpose is discovered through art.

We understand the journey of an artist because we've lived it. That’s why at TM Art Academy, we combine professional training with mentorship, motivation, and purpose-driven teaching. We aim to empower every learner with the skills, confidence, and vision to not only draw, but to make a difference through their art.

Our Vision
