Etsubdink Legesse

Etsubdink Legesse was born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.  Legesse’s work is traditional art on Parchments. Since childhood, Legesse admired her father Aba Legesse Mengistu’s paintings and she always loved art.  She started to assist her father with his work when she began her profession as an accountant and he was her art teacher.  Following her father’s passing, Legesse set aside her accountant profession and began painting.
