She moved to England in 1971 where she attended the Cambridge College of Art, and during those early years in the country, discovered a love of pottery. With the understanding that ceramic art is a medium that connects cultures all over the world, her new interest took her back to her native Kenya, as well as Nigeria, where she sought out traditional techniques that spoke of her own cultural roots. In 2008 she was appointed Office of the Order of the British Empire in the Queen’s Birthday Honour’s List for services to the Arts. She was also awarded the African Art Recognition Award by the Detroit Art Institute’s Friends of African and African-American Art.
