I work mostly in oil painting, sometimes textiles. My first show was in 1980 at Old Harbor Pottery, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
Most of my work is inspired by old photographs. I walk the dog by the river.
Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.
More about Akello
I've had 7 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.

What gifts mean to Akello: I'd put a gift toward a kiln repair. It's been a long time coming.
