Self-taught textiles artist

- Riverside Gallery

- English, Swahili
I work mostly in textiles, sometimes jewelry. My first show was in 1992 at Riverside Gallery, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
I also teach a weekly class at Riverside Gallery, which keeps me honest.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.
More about Apio
I've had 3 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.

I bought one of your pieces in 2017. It's still the first thing I see in the morning. Greetings from Lille.
