Chief Buraimoh was born Jimoh Adetunji Buraimoh in Nigeria in 1943.

His work combines western media and Yoruba style motifs, and incorporates the beadwork found in traditional Yoruba ceremonial fabric and crowns. Buraimoh represented Nigeria at the First All African Trade Fair in 1972, and participated in the World Festival of Black Arts in 1977. He has taught in schools across the United States, including the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts and the University of Bloomington.
