I painted the self portrait ‘Mothers’ because I wanted to explore the concept of heritage (physical, cultural, emotional, spiritual) and womanhood. I have Native American heritage and am connected to Kenyan culture hence the hair style, choker style necklace and wrapped material. The necklace depicts my female family tree, showing the eyes of my mother, mother-in-law, grandmothers, great grandmothers…etc. I focused on the females in my family tree because of the emphasis on womanhood and the influence mothers have. The pose is unusual; I chose to look at the viewer as if I were looking down to give the impression of strength and power. I wanted to convey that my heritage and the women/mothers that are part of that heritage, empower me.

United Kingdom
I love to celebrate through art because it encourages and uplifts. Emphasising love, goodness and beauty is my creative response to life. I create celebratory paintings, mixed media pieces and drawings focusing largely on the human form. Common themes in my art are strength, love, heritage and identity with exploration of spiritual, mental, emotional and social factors. Bold colours, vibrant patterns, symbolism and storytelling are key features of my work. There are often strong Celtic, Native American and African influences in my art reflecting my mixed heritage. I have been a prolific creator all my life and have studied art to postgraduate level in the United Kingdom. I studied at University of the Arts London (Berkshire School of Art & Design) 1999 to 2000, Birmingham City University (U.C.E.) 2000 to 2003 and Reading University 2005 to 2006. I have worked as an artist / illustrator for many years and over that time I have created lots of pieces of interesting and vibrant artwork for a variety of clients: from global publishing houses to individuals on independent commissions. I have a reputation for consistently creating high quality artwork, maintaining positive working relationships, being approachable and very professional. I have a lot of experience working on commissions and I am happy working with a range of subject matter.
