Sale Title : US$ 1,365-2,045 Karuga was the first Kenyan woman to attend Makerere University in Uganda where she studied from 1950-52. On graduating she struggled to make a living as an artist and her principal profession was teaching. On retirement, she began creating collages that so impressed those who saw them that she gained a profile illustrating books and then exhibiting, particularly in France. Her international reputation grew when she was part of a group show alongside El Anatsui and Ablade Glover at the Studio Museum in New York in1990. She has since featured in many international exhibitions. Karuga's technique remains consistent - using coloured paper, scissors and glue to create ingenious, characterful portraits of Kenyan daily life and fables. It's free to register now to view!
