Her warm coloured paintings with abstract figurines have been hanging on my and my family's walls for quite some time now, and now
Stella Atal is also going to conquer our wardrobes. The Ugandan artist I met in Kampala is doing very well. Apart from very artistic, she also is a clever business woman who knows how to find an enthousiastic clientele.

own fashion line. For her creations she uses the bark of the fig tree - the traditional cloth that the Bugandan kings used to wear. Stella to me is a great example of a young African women on her way to the top.
