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 dear lenders,i plan to use the 150dollars to finance an art exhibition with a theme on HIV/AIDS.i shall invite artists and painters from my home area and other towns to showcase their works with a theme on cancer.HIV/AIDS has become a threat not only in kenya but globally.i hence thought of the idea to use art as a means of reaching out to the public and inform them about HIV/AIDS.This shall aslo be a good opportunity to give back to my community and also i shall have the chance to market my paintings and this shall boost my career as well as for other artists.
