    Paintings by Artist April Kamunde

    April Kamunde, a Nairobi-born artist, immerses herself in the world of oils, skillfully crafting paintings that weave intricate narratives of personal significance.

    Balancing Act by Artist Martine Johanna

    “Her heroines visibly grapple with the weight and tension of the expectations that society has placed on them.
