Taru
Born in Zambia the year 1995 29th April and a former student of Kenyatta University. Currently a professional visual artist and painter based in Kenya. I am passionate about art, it has helped me communicate how I see the world and get the world to understand my point of view. Oil paint is my preferred medium. I enjoy working with oil paint because of the time it gives you to perfect and add as much detail as possible. My chosen style is realism as for me it puts life into perspective that people rarely see. I try to tell a story with each of my works I was brought into the art world as child by my older sister who is quite a good artist, my mother being a fashion designer also helped increase my vigour for art. Through art I have learnt patience, persistence and focus.

Artist statement
“As an artist I believe human beings are the most fascinating of creatures in the world judging by their behaviour and activities and I try to explore and understand them using my art. I also create imaginative works by sketching out my ideas of events and how I view the world. I am also into nature as it controls our eco system and thus how we live, making it a very major part of our existence and sometimes I incorporate in my works. My main intention is to create artworks that evoke thoughts, emotions and cultural diversity for my audience and show creativity through the whole process.”
