At her small apartment in Mwihoko, on the outskirts of Nairobi, Fridah Ijai is racing against time to finish up a portrait painting, her latest work and also what she terms as her last submission of 2023.
She says this will take her up to a week to complete. It will fetch her Sh85,000, almost $550, according to current exchange rates, and it is such payments that have enabled Fridah to live off her artwork.
