A family of artists – The Wenkidu’s: Martin, Hildegard, Celia & Rae 

Paper pieces / etchings / sculptures Mythical, magical, full of joy & vibrant colours that speak of the African sun.

He has exhibited all over the world, & was selected by the Royal Institute of Painters in watercolour, to show in the Mall Gallery in London.
