A pioneer sculptor and visual artist, Kioko Mwitiki operates his own gallery in Lavington next to the Lavington Mall. Kioko's work is a well-known and he can be considered one of the founding fathers of metal sculpture in the country.
His career has spanned more than two decades, and has taken him across the globe. In his own words, his work is primarily "making giraffes and elephants and funny animals". But Kioko has also made history in founding Kenya's first locally owned and operated gallery.
