I was born, raised in Eldoret Town and named 'God with us' in other words Emmanuel. I schooled at Kiplombe Primary school, Wareng High school and later on joined the Eldoret Art school.
I loved drawing and painting it was my talent. I experienced rejection from my parents when i told them i wanted to do arts as a career. They never wanted me to purse my dream instead do medicine, I loved arts and despite the pressure from them i never gave up. I forced my way into the art school and to me this was my greatest achievement in life because i graduated and now i am a professional painter.
I started painting people for example i did a painting for the Governor of Uasingishu, famous people like David Rudisha the athlete and through the same i generated money and also got people referred to me by them. With that i made to get Capital and started my own painting shop in town.
The most unique staff i have come to learn about our land is that many parents do not allow there children to purse there dreams instead they like pushing there kids to taking what they want or like.
My hobby is basically painting, i can draw all day long provided am not tired up with work to do
I offer both goods and services, The good bit of it comes when i have done a full painting and now sale the board as a painting and the services that i offer is the drawing that i do.
This goods and services i deem them useful because many people feel good when they see an image of themselves done as a drawing. This attrats many people and hence increases the demand. My shop is also strategically located within the mall where diffrent people flock in and by that i am able to get many customers.
I chose this business basically out of the love that i have for drawing. To me drawing is my life, passion and everything. This pushed me to do the business. Since i recently started the business most of the profits that i get goes back to the development and growth of the business. I buy new art products and new painting sticks and use the rest for self development.
I appreciate the opportunity given to express my desire. I will buy a new set of painting sticks and pads with the loan. The set cost 75 us dollars. With the loan, i will top up the remaining amount and make the purchase.
I will definitely benefit from the new set of painting sticks and pad because i will be doing fine drawing and much better. This will increase the uniqueness of my painting and thus attract more customers and increase my profits by almost 60%
