Nursery Art Prints: Brothers and Sisters Poem

This is a nursery art print I created from a vintage art piece, featuring a painting and sibling poem  I wrote titled, "Brothers and Sisters." I created it for a client who wanted nursery decor that was gender neutral and matched her citron nursery color scheme. The painting features a little boy and girl swinging from a tree and a children's poem which helps foster family values of sharing, love and friendship.

Personalized Gifts: Custom Nameplates and Signs

Last year I made a custom name plate as a baby shower gift for my darling nephew Zakayo. The name design fits in with his animal nursery decor theme.  These custom name plates make the perfect personalized baby shower gift, wedding gift or housewarming gift. I also make metal signs which can be used for office decor. If you would like to order custom name plaques and door signs please send an email to minjete@gmail.com

The door signs are available as handmade metal signs or aluminum metal prints. To order handmade metal art signs please send an email to minjete@gmail.com.

Personalized Art Gifts: The Statesman

Last year we got invited to the 70th birthday party of a family friend. I usually have a hard time picking birthday gifts for men especially the type of man who has everything so I took the easy way out and asked his daughter what we should get for her dad's gift. Turns out he loves both art and books, so she suggested we buy him one of the two. I decided to make him a personalized gift of a metal painting with his initials, birth year and nickname included in the art piece. He likes to wear hats and is a retired politician so I decided to incorporate these elements too. The metal art piece includes some Kiswahili phrases, "Ligi Kuu" meaning the Major League is inscribed on one of the stools and hats. Kaa Ngumu his nickname which means "stay firm" or "stand your ground" is also inscribed in one of the stools. Kaa also means "sit" in Kiswahili. Finally I also inscribed "Elders Council," on one of the stools. I used stools versus chairs in the painting since they are a symbol of leadership in some African cultures. If you are interested in buying artwork please send an email to minjete@gmail.com.

Art for Sale: African Art Inspirational Paintings of Women

This year I decided to return to actively painting and blogging about my art work. While going through my existing art pieces I came across a few I had not posted on this blog. Some are from a collection of art pieces I did as a commission for the Young Women's Leadership Institute (YWLI Kenya) and others were inspired by that commission. If you are interested in buying any of these paintings please send an email inquiry to minjete@gmail.com.

The idea behind the YWLI art collection was inspiring young women to take flight and reach for greater heights, as well as celebrating sisterhood. My favorite piece from the collection is the "Basket of Butterflies."
