About Me

I was born in Uganda, East Africa and first came to Canada in 1967. I studied at the University of Guelph, Ontario and graduated with a B.A. in Fine Art in 1970. I attended the Ontario College of Art in 1971. I also graduated with a Master of Fine Art degree from Wayne State University, in Detroit, [Press Refresh if image doesn't appear] Michigan in 1976. I have been honoured with numerous scholarships and awards. I exhibit widely throughout Canada and The United States. I am humbled to say that my work adorns many private homes and public collections around the world. I now reside and work in London, Ontario with my wife and the youngest of my three children.

After much begging and pleading from many of my patrons, I decided to create a website for all the world to see. This could not have been possible without my wife Agnes and my children: Mat, Susan and Helen. There is a saying in my language (Luganda - spoken by the Baganda people[Press Refresh if image doesn't appear] of the Buganda Kingdom) - Wagula ngatto, kwewonya maggwa" - that one buys shoes to avoid the thorns. My wife and children have done all the work: design, create, scan, crop and so forth - all the technical stuff. I am learning very slowly. What would I do without you guys! All my love.
