The Kenyan arts community recently lost an iconic female painter. Annabelle Wanjiku Reeno, who rose to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s, died in Kampala, Uganda on January 6.
Lydia Gatundu-Galavu, contemporary art curator at the Nairobi National Museum, remembers Reeno as a warm person with a great sense of humour. “And she always wanted the best for others,” said Galavu.
