Tejal Patel was a mathematician, mechanical engineer, interior designer, and teacher before she came to Kenya and finally had a chance to become the ‘self-taught’ artist she had always wanted to be.
“My father wouldn’t hear of my becoming an artist,” Tejal tells the BD Life. “He finally let me study interior design, but it wasn’t until I came here to be married that I was finally able to pursue my passion for art,” she adds.
