Kathleen Ngale

The Awekety, or conkerberry, is a sweet black berry that grows only a few weeks of the year. Kathleen’s people store them by drying them out and soaking them in water before consuming. A versatile fruit that also has medicinal properties.

Kathleen’s use of colour has made her paintings instantly recognisable, and desirable in collections.
