Summary
Among the other Brush tu artists who have been painting up a storm is Sebawali Sio who brought several of her latest glass-on-glass paintings to the open house.
There are lots of red sold stickers on the artworks but still, there are a few visible price tags.
Peteros Ndunde is among the artists whose paintings have been sold out.
Even during a pandemic, artists from Brush tu Art Collective, a gallery based in Nairobi’s Buruburu, were willing to hold an open house filled with artworks.

A sample of the Bamboo products
Boniface Maina grew up in the midst of a bamboo plantation. His father owned a bamboo farm in Central Kenya, and used proceeds from the farm to fend for his family.
This early introduction to business and environmental conservation stuck with Maina from a tender age, as he used to assist his father in tending the farm.
It is no surprise, then, that when Maina completed his education, the first venture he could think of was to continue in his father’s footsteps. This marked the beginning of his company, Elegance Bamboo Ventures, which was founded in 2008.
