Irene Hellen Ouma
Self-taught mural painting artist
- 🇰🇪 Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya
- The Embakasi Art Collective
- Since 1983
- English, Swahili
I work mostly in mural painting, sometimes street art. My first show was in 1983 at The Embakasi Art Collective, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
Most of my work is inspired by folk tales I grew up with. I walk the dog by the river.
Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.
More about Irene
I've had 14 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.
