Durante las décadas de 1980 y 1990, mi padre pintó obras vibrantes y emotivas que reflejaban la vida en su Uganda natal antes de emigrar a Canadá con mi familia. Si bien no logró alcanzar sus metas por completo ni vender toda su obra, esto nunca le impidió seguir creando y enseñando arte.

Hacia 2023 le diagnosticaron demencia, y desde entonces su estado ha progresado hasta el punto de que está postrado en cama y prácticamente no puede hablar. He reabierto esta tienda para compartir su arte con los demás, porque su arte habla incluso cuando él no puede.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s my father painted vibrant, emotional pieces that reflected life back home in Uganda before immigrating to Canada with my family. Although he was unable to fully achieve his goals and sell all of his work, this never stopped him from creating and teaching art.

Around 2023 he was diagnosed with dementia, and his condition has since progressed to the point where he is bedridden and mostly non-verbal. I have revived this shop to share his art with others, because his art speaks even when he cannot.
