What a tatally great adventure! This was my first trip to Africa - aka "da Motherland"! what a dream come true. And what made it so impoortant was that I'd been invited by the Kuana Trust, an arts NGO, and the American Embassy in Niarobi to join 20 woman artists from East Africa for a 6 week residency in Kenya.

In this the first of 5 quick time movies you'll see and hear the works and thoughts: 1.Beatrice Njoroge , ... Of Kenya At Lake Navaisha's artist retreat 2.Eunice Wadu Of KenyaAt Lake Navaisha's artist retreat.
3. Artists working at my Printmaking Workshop the Kuona Trust held at their Nairobi site
4. Tabitha Wathuku of Kenya at Lake Navaisha's artist retreat.
5. Presentation ot the Ambassador my art work for the embassy's permanent collection.
PS: Please forgive any shaky quaky camera moves i'm a newbie at taking movie. So the movies are quick shorts. I mostlly want you the viewer to hear from the artists in their own words.

I loved being in Kenya, seeing all the sites of the people, the culture and nature up close was thrilling. When I think of it, I still get overwhelmed with an inner emotional charge. Click here and check out what I mean.
