Visits to the National Museums of Kenya...

Every body has something to give, something to say & something to share!...

Last week I received the news that Kenya is on top of the medal table in the IAAF World Championships 2015 and last weekend I had the chance to also visit the National Museum. The international Artist Amandeep Singh aka Ink just had an amazing one man show of his spectacular Artwork influenced by what he calls Sikh Art. I found it to be so enriching, refreshing and filled with depth and intrigue. 

 And I met Moses Muigai, a humble friendly and very versatile Artist from Kenya who had a Solo Exhibition at the Museum and recently opened The Heritage Art Gallery at Mt Longonot National Park in Kenyas Rift Valley.

 There are countless number of exhibitions in Kenya from such talented & skilled creatives that one cannot possibly attend every one but making the time for such visits has always been exciting & a natural stimulator for me. There is always so much to gain and learn from those who practise what we love & what we do.

Listening to the ideas behind his work, sharing our stories made me realize more the depth, strength & love the creative space of Kenya & beyond has sharing ! Our artistic styles are certainly varied, but one thing ties us our love for Art! 

It made me feel proud to be Kenyan & proud to be part of its Art space!....
 A weekend definitely well spent at the Museum!

As the first night of the year draws near I'm reminded of all the possibilities that await as I turn the first page of a new chapter today.  While reflecting on the last one year and looking towards the next, I'm also reminded of my countless blessings and the many things I should be thankful and grateful for. As I cherish deeper what I have a part of my soul bleeds for the many who are facing suffering, str

Place to Call Home...

 During uncertainty trial tribulations and chaos the best place to call home is where we find peace and glimmers of hope/ rays of light ! Wherever that may be ...with family, pursuing passion, hobbies, travel ,nature, seeing a sunrise .and sometimes it is in simplicity of comradeship and companionship.  Sunrise is born from this idea.                                                        Sunrise - oil on canvas - March 2021
