I’m an art collector; my trove reflects my personal journey

Engaging with artworks gives me a sense of serenity and a deeper appreciation of my African roots. Contemporary African art is my identity on the global platform, and a great source of pride. I am obsessively drawn to the beauty of aesthetics, much like Oscar Wilde. 

My passion for art collection has its humble beginnings in the influence of a friend in Canada who first introduced me to Ugandan artist David Kibuuka more than 30 years ago.
