The Nairobi Skyline ....

The Nairobi Skyline was an adventure painting ........

With  a mixture of nostalgic moments remembering my childhood and also admiring with amazement the developments of the landscape and the new buildings that have come up since, recollecting the memories from boating in the lake, I created my version of the skyline without copying or replicating from photographs I have taken but applying my own imagination and memories of the place.

here is a snapshot of my journey through Nairobi Skyline:

It exists in a far more powerful realm than we can see with our eyes, however we can feel its existence once we tap into that infinite  wisdom that holds all the connections between our most inner most secrets, abilities, visions and dreams. It is  a sanctuary of eternal divinity once tapped releases the energy of being connected with the source power.  It knows our deepest truths and is a comforting guidance that shines brightly to illuminate the path for us. It allows us to utilise our intuitive experience to pave the way forward for us without doubt and fear but trust and faith.  If we all stopped for a moment and asked ourselves to connect with our soul how would that feel ?  Unfortunately many are trapped in chasin...

Artworks were on display that expressed Artists interpretation of breaking the bias around gender equality, womens rights, women at work, societal bias of women.  While creating my own artworks, I contemplated on the idea of the multi-faceted nature of The Woman figure. The same woman who can keep a child in her belly for 9 months, can be a housewife a CEO or anything she wants to be. I reflected on the stigma around the right role of a woman  and the exhibition was my way to highlight this very important topic. It is women who can make that change. As a woman, how do I express my individu...
