“My paintings preserve memories of Kenya and express my connection to Nature and the Natural World.  Patterns and repeats found in tribal textiles, jewellery and architecture of Africa and Asia are used on canvas and frame and pay homage to the fusion of the diverse Cultures found here –  an exotic blend of African, Arabic, European and Asian. “
