Nazmudin Mamdani

  Notater:

Nazmu Mamdani was born in Mbale, Uganda and 3 years after graduating as a Veterinarian from the University of Nairobi, Kenya, immigrated to Canada. Following fulfilling the Canadian Board exams he worked for 2 years basically as a 'cowboy vet' for the Department of Agriculture testing cattle and horses and wildlife for Rabies, TB and Brucellosis before going into private practice as a Small Animal Veterinarian. (Eastview Animal Hospital, Dr. Nazmudin Mamdani, 261 McArthur p Ave, Vanier, Ontario)

He was the first Ismaili and Asian Veterinarian from East Africa to immigrate and write the Canadian certification exams thus opening doors for accreditation for other Veterinarians from East Africa. He took up painting more seriously after watching artists on Younge Street, in Toronto during the summer of his first year in Canada. In later years he reverted to painting wildlife, which came quite naturally, being not only in the business of but also having a keen eye for the anatomy and behaviour of animals out in the wild.
