The Resident Artist.
Painter, muralist and cultural storyteller — bringing pan-African memory onto canvas, textile and the streets of Nairobi.
Portraits that move between studio, textile and the street.
Our resident artist is a Nairobi-based visual artist whose practice moves fluidly between studio canvases, fabric collage and monumental public murals. The work is anchored in pan-African memory — the dignity of everyday life, the texture of Kenyan heritage, and the leaders and landmarks that have shaped the nation.
Working across acrylic, spray and Ankara textile, the artist builds portraits that feel both intimate and monumental. The public murals — including collaborative works honouring former President Mwai Kibaki alongside the KICC and the Kenyan flag — bring gallery-grade portraiture into the streets, making culture visible to everyone who passes by.
As a featured artist within the Queensway Connect Creative Hub, the artist mentors emerging youth artists, contributes to fundraising exhibitions, and champions the creative economy as a legitimate pathway out of vulnerability.
