Omonivie Okhade (pronounced OH-monee-VEE-ay oh-KAH-day) is a Sacramento-based artist who makes jewelry under the brand, Tula in Bloom. Using traditional metalworking techniques, she seeks to articulate inner experiences and connect with wearers investigating their personal journeys.

Long passionate about art, Omonivie revisited the creative interests of her youth and explored new avenues of expression, eventually establishing Tula in Bloom in 2013. More recently, her work was showcased at the De Young Museum Store in San Francisco in conjunction with the touring exhibition, Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, 1963-1983. Inspired by modern art, movement, and the natural world, Omonivie and her minimally structured jewelry inspires conversation and connection through joyous self-expression.
