ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This work was inspired by the changing landscape in this area due to the dam and the hydropower project taken up by the Kenya Government. Both of them have been wrangled by conflict since the beginning due to tribal land pressure and the usual political corruption. Built in a remote village on the border of Pokot North and Turkana South, the dam has also been criticised by local leaders and environmentalists who claim it has failed to achieve its objectives. It makes me sad to think that places of such unbelievable natural beauty are corrupted by greed and conflict.

Delivery Time:

Art is more than just its economic value, it gives meaning to life and is the experience of our culture and brings people together. My art reflects the way I perceive things and wish to portray about them. I like working in various mediums and although my themes remain consistent, they are likely to be expressed in watercolour, oil, acrylic or even fabric collage. I worked as an Advertising art Director for several years before I finally found my way back to Art 4 years ago. My work usually stems from inequality issues that face us in Kenya, like gender, poverty, water access, environment and endangered environments and wildlife.
