Mary Muthoni Tembo
Sculpture and embroidery artist
- 🇰🇪 Kisumu, Kisumu, Kenya
- Kisumu Gallery
- 1994 to 2015
- English
I work mostly in sculpture, sometimes embroidery. My first show was in 1994 at Kisumu Gallery, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
I also teach a weekly class at Kisumu Gallery, which keeps me honest.
I'm still learning every day.
More about Mary
I've had 13 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.
