Akinyi Amani Onyango

Painter, potter and teacher at Nairobi Art Collective

  • 🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya
  • Nairobi Art Collective
  • Since 2009

I'm a embroidery artist based in Nairobi. I've been making things since 2009 and I still get excited when a new batch of materials arrives. I like to keep things simple and honest. My studio is always a bit of a mess.

More about Akinyi

I've had 14 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.
What gifts mean to Akinyi: Any gift helps me keep the free Saturday class running.
