Ladouce Nadabha is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi, Kenya; specialising in the areas of product design, fine art, illustration, and original canvas works. Coming from an established background in calligraphy and pencil art, Ladouce began her creative journey as a self-taught artist , competitively earning her first creative job at just 14 years of age at an international calligraphy firm, and has been actively developing her practice since.

Ladouce uses the base of colour and form in her work as a method of communication. She is heavily inspired by the African culture and its people as well as the Nairobi urban vibe and everyday life to creatively develop her own visual language through art.

Ladouce sees art itself as a language that should be accessible for all. With her fine art pieces, she creates artistic pieces offering the audience the opportunity to interpret the work from their own personal perspective. Ladouce places a similar intention on her art and product-design company,The Art Cartë, a brand that curates functional handcrafted artistic products to suit one's everyday lifestyle.

In her daily practice, Ladouce credits her personal conditioning of meditation, the outdoors and mindfulness as essential elements that keep her creative discipline on course. By providing her with additional mental space, these daily rituals nurture the ability for deeper focus while drawing.

With an eye on the future, Ladouce’s ambition is to evolve her practice by creating new collections of work for exhibition in Nairobi and internationally as well as collaborating with other artists and like-minded brands.

She is currently the co-founder and lead artist of The Art Cartë as well as the Product Designer at RAMISSA Italia, a home goods brand.
