ARTIST OF THE MONTH: Flora Omare b.1926, sculptor #internationalwomensday Little known Flora Omare b.1926 is arguably the most talented woman sculptor of her time in Kenya. Her style of realistic doll-like figurines is exceptional.

This month of March we celebrate International Women’s Month whose theme is ‘Inspire Inclusion’ by bringing Flora’s name and achievements to light. Flora attended Mumias Girls School in 1942, and soon began sculpting professionally. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #InspireInclusion

One of her earliest shows was at the Kericho Town Show in 1944, Nairobi Show and Bungoma Town Show in 1948, and other documented shows in the 60s and 70s. #sculptor #IWD #InternationalWomensDay #InternationalWomensDay2024

Flora continued exhibiting in Kenya and regionally throughout her life. She would have been 98 years today. Photo: Sculpture presented to Princess Margaret Refs & image J.Miller #internationalwomensday #inspireinclusion #arthistory #eastafricanart #kenyanartists
