Kenya

Personal Details

At 54, Greek-Kenyan fine artist Theodora Stone’s work is amazing and entrancing. She is proficient, as depicted in varied designs she paints on delicate ostrich eggs. A visit to her home in Nairobi is like taking a walk through an exclusive museum that displays rare works of art.

Hanging on her sitting room wall, is a beautiful painting created with banana plant fibers.

As an art collector, Theo’s eye for detail leaps off her improvised book shelves, flower vases, lamp shades and hand-made tablemats. These are adorned with appealing artistic designs and patterns. But it was not until she quit working at a ceramics company that Theo began to pursue art on a full time basis.

She is credited with countless paintings for a varied clientele - individuals, foreign tourists and hotels that commission her to decorate their walls. “I have painted birds, underwater marine life, Maasai community besides other African themes. I live my dream, and I wouldn’t exchange this for anything," she says.

Theo’s paintings can also be found in Kenyan airports and numerous hotels along the Kenyan coastline.
