Veroniccah Muwonge -- Fine Art

Artist Profile

I am a practicing visual artist from Uganda. Graduated in 2002, lived in Kenya since then till May 2006. Have shown my work in Uganda, Zambia, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and USA. I paint on themes that reflect my personal life experiences, things that happened to me in the past and my future vision. Painting to me is like writing in my diary.
