Wangari Upendo Simiyu

Self-taught calligraphy artist

  • 🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya
  • 2016 to 2025
  • English, Swahili, French
I work mostly in calligraphy, sometimes street art. My first show was in 2016 at Redwood Print Workshop, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog. I also teach a weekly class at Redwood Print Workshop, which keeps me honest.

More about Wangari

I've had 12 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.
