As expected many people know Vera Sidika for her "endowments" as opposed to her painting talent and as it is, she too is very much aware.This is what she said as she presented the finished landscape painting.
"Final work of my landscape painting. I know y'all never knew I could paint. Well, been doing this since I first held a pencil in kindergarten.
My parents made sure I went to an Art school in high school. Star of the Sea was one the best schools in Mombasa that had Art & Design. (Also won art trophies for the school) and got to Uni all I wanted to do was Design. Or an Art course because that's where my heart belongs!!!
I eat, breath, sleep and wake up to Art (any form of art, be it music, cooking, dancing, u name it!) There are artists out there and most times we fail to appreciate them. People should give them a chance and platform to express themselves in the society. Coz trust me, going to a medical or law school entails you having been employed before you can set up your own firm.
An Artist is their own BOSS. You don't need employment and with the gift you can always find means to provide for yourself and family.
LET'S LEARN TO APPRECIATE EACH OTHERS GIFTS AND TALENTS. "
