I am a full time Kenyan sculptor based in Karen area of Nairobi. I work in various materials in both 2D and 3D. My career currently spans 28 years. I allow myself to be inspired by anything and everything. I use these inspirations to speak to the audience in a language that can be used to interpret my work. I occasionally allow my pieces to dictate to me through their unique materials, shapes and forms. I create out of passion and need to physically translate the voices and ideas in my head to real, tangible art forms. My current medium is metal with 300 year old distressed railway sleepers. I combine the materials to create semi abstract work that draws its inspiration from my environment. ​I have taken part in numerous exhibitions, workshops and residencies in Kenya, East African region, Algeria, Nigeria, Netherlands, USA, Egypt, UAE and UK. I have a passion for working on commissioned work for both private and public spaces and currently being represented by Efie Gallery based in the UAE.
