Street art artist in Embakasi

- 1989 to 2012
- English, Swahili
I work mostly in street art, sometimes embroidery. My first show was in 1989 at St. Mary's Studio, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
I also teach a weekly class at St. Mary's Studio, which keeps me honest.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

I bought one of your pieces in 1990. It's still the first thing I see in the morning. Greetings from Wollongong.
