Rosemary Karuga
Rosemary Karuga developed her remarkable collages when caught in the classroom where she taught with no paint to use with her pupils. Remembering the lectures in Byzantine art she attended in Kampala's Makerere University, Karuga started to make collages from magazines she found and she has been developing the medium ever since-long after her successes could have bought her paint again.

Since then she has steadily concentrated on sculpture, painting and collage and had a solo show in New York as well as two solo exhibitions in Paris. Since 1992, she has shown at Gallery Watatu.

Rosemary and John Karuga have 13 grandchildren.
