Meet the artist
A practice rooted in Nairobi.
Born and raised in Nairobi, Leah Njenga paints the place she calls home, including the richness of culture, the strength of family, and the beauty and resilience woven into everyday life.
Working in acrylic and layered texture, she explores identity, beauty and strength through bold colour and movement.
“Art is more than something to be seen. It is something to be felt.”Exhibitions & press ↗
