Nicholas Sironka is the founder of Enkishon Nataana and the leader of the Friends of Sironka Dance Troupe. He is a Maasai by birth, born in the Rift Valley town of Narok, Kenya, which is located about three hours away from his current home outside of Kiserian. Sironka believes in the philosophy of using one’s personal talents to bring improvement to one’s community. He first discovered his talent as an artist during his childhood, and he developed his own unique style as a painter over the years to come with no formal training. His skill in painting led him to come to the United States as a Fullbright scholar in 2000.
