Gathinja

Born in Nairobi, Kenya, Gathinja has developed her talent in the arts in many fashions. Being a semi-finalist in the Smirnoff International Fashion Awards in 1998 has encouraged her to bring her art to a new level of color and medium. She believes that art can be found in any form and looks for it all around her.

Currently living in America, the paintings seen here are a reflection of the Kenyan traditional villages and their practices.

Gathinja's mother attended design classes after work and would make outfits for her and her cousins. Seeing this creativity in her household influenced Gathinja, now 28, to become interested in fashion design which led towards her interest in art.

Attending Evelyn's College of Fashion and Design on Ngong Rd., she graduated in 1997 and continued her education at Rupani Dressmaking School for an extra certificate in tailoring. However, she always had in interest in drawing and embroidering. This eventually evolved into other forms of creativity, including her love for painting.

Not only are Gathinja's paintings showcased here on Inside African Art, but she is also your USA connection to purchase paintings on this site!
