Welcome to my Web site!

I successfully completed both
"O" and "A" levels in
Uganda Kampala; studying art at Makerere University where I obtained a diploma and then returned to Kenya to work for a while as a freelance artist.
Since 1997 I have been running my gallery in Cape Town in a little town,
Simon's Town. After my long time survey, I decided to relocate my gallery to
the wine route in particular
Stellenbosch and
Franshoek.
There has been no regrets just the fact that from the tourist point of view,
there,re frequently visited by lots of people around the world.
I now reside about twenty kilo metres away from Stellenbosch
in another lovely village, Summerset West, surrounded by great
and beautiful mountains which to me is such an influence to my colours and figurations.
Batik as a technique
has been my main theme however, since then I've been working with water
colours as in simple figures and oils. I juggle around in many
different colour shades but my main shade of colours I mainly work in warm
colours; by that I mean I may work in blues, greens and certain colour
shades of one's choice.
Through experimental work, I've been able to do batik on
the simplest paper known as fish and chips or in Germany they call it
silk paper but mainly known as a newsprint. It's got such a lovely
colour effect and quite popular among people that have visited my gallery.
That invention took place about eight years ago and it has taken my work by
storm. It has been my fastest selling concept followed by my water colours.
Painting or working as an artist for me has been such a relaxation
and I've never regretted doing what I do because I enjoy and live it. For
the past fifteen years my art has advanced from strength to strength. Each
and every year, I feel compelled to move from style to style simply because
I can't do the same thing on an annually basis. And by so doing this has
given pleasure to my valid customers who can't resist collect my work every
time of their visitation to this country.
Having listened to those that have visited my gallery, it
has been such a boost where my creativity is concerned. There are those who
may feel my work is good but then it does not suit their homes; reason
being, the colours or figures would be too African. Therefore, I've decided
to go more modern or contemporary. By so doing, it's been accommodative to
both those who would feel they want something with an African touch and
those who would love to have something that falls in between. So yes what a
pleasure! my work and my profession as a whole is on the move. Those with
positive criticism I've accepted them and have learnt a lot through them.
I've treasured every one's comment in my guest book at my own leisure time,
I've gone through it. It's a great honor, may God bless you so very much.
