Ugandan Artist - David Kiggundu

I met David Kiggundu through Pfizer friends Nedra Hoffman and Jenny de Gelder.  David is a young man trying to make it in the world by becoming trained in accounting, and by making and selling his paintings.  David also mentors about 6-7 orphans, helps pay their school fees and is training them to paint and also make greeting cards from banana fiber, both so they can learn a useful skill and so that he can scale up production of his designs.  The Pfizer gang is publicizing his work so if you like what you see, let me know and I can put you in touch with David, who is on Facebook, or purchase some of his work on your behalf.

I like David's wall hangings best of all his work.  He uses mixed media including acrylics, oils and watercolors.

David is also very good at painting African animals. I love the big hot sun in this one.
