Riziki Kateya - Botanical Painter
Riziki’s work is not only for the art lover’s eye. Scientists use botanical drawings for identification and research. The work of a 15 artist is extremely meticulous. The slightest deviation in detail could result in plants being wrongly identified. Riziki will share the primary techniques of botanical painting.
Riziki has held exhibitions in London, at Kew Gardens and the National History Museum; and at Mawazo Gallery in Dar es Salaam and Jakaranda Gallery at Gibb’s Farm. She has completed 20 commissions so far and continues to catalogue the garden and forest specimens of the farm. Her work is well documented in the SANAA Gallery and Art web pages.

Peter Ray - Contemporary Painter
Peter’s work is abstract, but based on traditional Maasai culture, music and stories, and through his art he has discovered his own Maasai identity.
Mr Ray’s work has been in the Biannual exhibition Dar es Saalam a number times, along with regional shows along the coast. He has completed three commissions over the past two years as a SANAA Artist-in-residence. His work is well documented in the SANAA Gallery and Art web pages.
