Despite its small size, Sierra Leone is home to a host of young and extremely talented artists. Here are a dozen of the best.
Hawa-Jane Bangura
A major figure in the local art scene, Hawa-Jane has been instrumental in teaching and mentoring Sierra Leonean artists and giving them them a platform with her collective ‘ the Barray’ and its much feted twice-annual exhibitions.



Joseph ‘Jozy’ Jalloh
An accountancy student who sketches in his spare time, Jozy is completely self taught. He is currently working on expanding his talents into digital art and murals.
