Benjamin Obiero, a self-taught artist at his stall in Ulowa village, Siaya. “My father used to pull my ears and even cane me every time he found me drawing,” recalls Obiero. He says his turning point came in 2015 when he met a Tanzanian artist, Adam Omari, popular known as Edo Matata. The self-taught artist says his dream is to enroll for a course in arts to hone his skills. Obiero, who is now mentoring local youth, says he has been equipping any person who is passionate about art.
