Chiru Mondo Murage (Weinstein) is a Kenyan American abstract artist based in New York City.
Art has visited her life since childhood: from a decade of Sunday watercolor classes, to illustrating for the Harvard Lampoon, to the pet portraits and landscapes rabbit hole. Always figurative, always chasing perfection.
After a long hiatus, she found this most recent work clawing its way out. Her foray into the abstract is an exercise in expression with vulnerability and without the weight of expectation; an experiment in letting go. With acrylic as the primary medium, this work is a container for her exploration in self discovery. Follow her journey as she builds her first project I swear I come alive in summer.
Welcome to her world; hope you stay a while.
