Isaac Okwir

Isaac Okwir was born in 1983 in a small village in Northern Uganda to a family of nine children.

Whilst a Fine Art student at Makerere University, he took part in several workshops sponsored by the Ruwenzori Sculpture Foundation. His distinctive style and beautifully-observed animal sculptures have led to regular invitations to undertake residencies with the Foundation.

'I am a self-motivated artist since time immemorial because despite the soothing nature of art, it is also one of the best languages I can express myself fluently for others to benefit from.'
