A Native of Kenya in East Africa, Daniel Njoroge is a leading authority in the region’s culture and wildlife art in it’s most realistic depiction.  While art is his passion, Daniel is a man of some many talent and has served in many capacities: a civil servant with Kenya’s Ministry of Education, an automotive engineer, a rally driver, Domestic and wildlife anatomy illustrator with the department of Veterinary Anatomy and Medicine at Kenya’s University of Nairobi.

Daniel has been painting professionally for more than 20 years. His initial works were inspired from experience of his childhood upbringing when he lived in Embu, a community of hunters and gatherers who later acquired land and settled at the slopes of Mount Kenya – the only snow capped mountain on the equator! Living with these animals in their natural habitat, Daniel has been able to produce the best known realistic and anatomically accurate depiction on canvas than any other wildlife artist in the sahara.  On cultural issues, Daniel says his ”aim is to depict the richness of –culture (or lack of it)” as a mirror to a society regardless of the setting. Against the backdrop, Daniel belies this work will inspire greater appreciation for culture diversity and eliminate the “seeming divine” in our societies.

Newspaper reviews and other media has reported very widely on his work across Africa. Many describing him as a “master of polished detail, painting the world in it’s true colors”, (Westlands weekly, May 18, 1985: The Sunday Times, March 11, 1984).

Most tourists, Art collectors and wildlife safari enthusiasts, coming to Africa from all over the world have always sought Daniel Njoroge’s work. Some of this have included Wildlife Conservation organizations like William Holden Foundation. The organisations’ President Stephanie Powers is an avid collector of Daniel’s work. Locally, Daniel Njoroge’s work adorns the walls of Kenya’s Presidential State House, National Archives and on many occasions to do works on national projects. He has also had the privilege of holding private exhibitions in the USA.
