Self-taught oil painting artist
- 🇰🇪 Kakamega, Kakamega, Kenya
- Old Gateway Gallery
- Since 1986
- English, Swahili
I work mostly in oil painting, sometimes embroidery. My first show was in 1986 at Old Gateway Gallery, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
Most of my work is inspired by folk tales I grew up with. I garden badly but happily.

I bought one of your pieces in 1987. It's still the first thing I see in the morning. Greetings from Bucaramanga.
