Jeff Wambugu
Jeff
Wambugu was born in Kenya in 1975 - in Karura Location, Kiambu District - only a
few miles/KMs from Nairobi. In 1981 he joined Kirangari Primary School and in
1991 was admitted in Kamahuha Secondary school. In 1995 he completed his
secondary school education.
After school he did farming, where he learned landscaping. Later he discovered
that landscaping is the mother art. He was inspired in designing and he started
sign writing. Jeff Wambugu later met some painters from whom he drew
inspirations. His work reflects daily life. His favorite subjects are street
life and market scenes - all that is happening around him.
Wambugu comes from a family of talent, with the
Late
Alex Mbugua as his brother. He
also eventually found a family of fellow artists at Banana Hill, where he
started to think about the value of his art, and where it can take him.
Inspired by his brother's passing in both
emotional and spiritual ways, Wambugu continues to carry the torch in his family
for artistry that is hoped to go on for more generations.
