ABOUT THE ARTIST:  "I grew up with my mother who used to make mats and baskets. This inspired me to pursue art while in school. During high school, I began making craft items and I sold them in hotels to raise school fees since I had no father to pay the tuition and I wanted to continue with my education.


A day that changed my artistic journey is when I met my husband Emannuel Kavuma also know as EmmaKavuma's ART. This changed my life through motivation, art is my life ‘we're the ART'."  ~X-tine Nankya
