About Me
I am known as wangila,my passion is in art,i come from a relatively small family of four.i got educated upto college level.and graduated in pure arts from the university of Nazarene in Nairobi.i have been doing painting since my high school days and have been earning. ever since.i also have hobbies such as swimming and doing charity work i am currently working as volunteer for kiambu orphaned with AIDS.I plan to open an ultra modern studio in my are where youth can showcase their talents.i believe youth should be encouraged to follow their passion and dream to the fullest
My Business
am an artist and i do painting for a living.i mostly do portraits of individuals who come to me and ask me to paint their portraits.i then charge them as per the complexity of the portrait.the business has been good though it comes with its own challenges such as lack of equipments and also a platform to showcase my art.my paintings range from 50dollars upwards and i even sell them to hotels and even schools.there times when the demand is too high that i am overwhelmed and at times the business is at its low hence the business has its peak season and low season
Loan Proposal
hallo lenders,i would wish to use the 50 dollars to acquire a room to set up an art gallery in my town.this is because i realized that i would be able to market my paintings even better,currently i am operating from home and most of my customers are unable to get in touch with me.i would hence wish to get rental space in my home area to act as an office and also a gallery where customers can get a chance to view my paintings and purchase them as well.this will also be a great opportunity for other artists to display their works and sell them as well.A good platform is the major shortcoming for artistes in my area and also the surroundings.this loan shall have a great impact on me and my community as well
