Original mixed-media fine art compositions painted on organic stretched jute and encased in custom architectural black shadow-box frames.

When people ask me where the colors in my work come from, I always take them back home to my roots! As you all know l love nature so much! I was born in kenya and moved to the western world for a better life , like many of us do. But the roots are still within me , and l want people to also stay connected to their roots when they see my work. It’s like a symbol in a way. 

The rich terracotta and earthy tones that come up in  my line collections are not just random  colors that  I picked out, they are a piece of my childhood before l moved to uk . They are the shades of the earth I used to walk on barefoot as a little girl growing up in Kenya. The terracotta is reminder of beautiful red soil we played with and made things with.  l use to love walking bare foot on , on my way to school. I guess you can say that I’ve always ways been grounded lol 

My lines on these paintings and sculptures are never rigid, straight lines. Nothing in nature is like that. They feel like  the natural, footpaths found in my village in kiambu, these are paths that have been carved out by people walking gently and intuitively over time, whether to  see family or even go to the market. 

As l paint these lines  l am always invited to just slow down like nature ! Since I’ve moved to western world everything seems so rushed , but nature is so slow and calm and l want my work to feel like that, l also love  textures because they are a reminder that nothing is perfect in nature but yet so beautiful ! I hope you love these pieces.
