Kinda embarrassing but I had to pose and take multiple photos of myself so that I can have reference photos for this painting, some of the poses even look like Michael Jackson heehee 😭🙈
Anyway, this painting represents having a wealth of materials but still lacking what’s important, meet ‘Beggar unfinished’

They say the artwork reflects the artist but my work reflects the faces I grew up seeing and my abstract interpretation of them. The faces of my family, friends, and strangers I've come across in this beautiful continent. I aim to celebrate them The last slide's a WIP 😆

Been working on a series representing the fruits of the Holy Spirit and she represents Patience, which is what I’ve had to tap into to get her this far. What do you think of the WIP? It still has a bit of a way to go but I don’t completely hate it now 🙈
I had the honor of working with a Swahili carver to make this vision a reality ☺️
And look, I painted the edges. Titled this piece, the feminine urge 🫶

I’m back again and I thought I’d share my artworks 🤗
Though this painting was featured on Times Square almost a year ago, I’m honestly still in disbelief that it happened, so let me tell you a little about this print, Inspired by the vibrant city, the painting is titled Nairobi, for
she wears the different colours of the eye of Kenya which change at night. She carries the skyline of the city on her lashes, and she represents the balance between nature and development. I painted her hair to look like my little sisters so that when she looks at the canvas she can be proud. Let me know if you’d like a print of this artwork, it comes in different sizes ☺️
The painting is now in its final form from sketch to completion the Governor wears new clothes (aka the hand carved Swahili frame) here are some process photos of its creation.
While painting this within a short time span, I lost my uncle, injured my back and celebrated my birthday and through it all I kept thinking of the theme of this work, Self-governance and the ability to hold space for emotions while stewarding your internal landscape.
It's funny how as humans, one moment we experience the depths of grief and the next, your sharing laughter over the shared struggle and how at one moment, we are calm and the next, we are at war with ourselves, the Trojan horses we once let in wreaking havoc on our lands... I forget my point but check out the painting and let me know what you think and if you want it in your home, let's chat ☺️
