ArtistRobin Anderson (1924-2012) was born in Kenya and is of European descent. In the 1960s she became well known in Kenya for her hand-printed silk batiks, a technique that she developed herself. She studied art in London at Heatherleys Art School, then returned to Kenya where she co-founded Gallery Watatu in 1968. Her art has been described as "a joyous celebration of the basic grace and vitality of all humankind", which is of little surprise when one considers the vitality of her forefathers; Europe owes it’s first hospital and newspaper to her uncle and grandfather. In turn, Robin Anderson becomes Kenya’s most renowned artist. Anderson's works were exhibited at the Commonwealth Institute in London and at the Sorsbie Gallery, New Stanley Gallery and Gallery Watatu in Nairobi.
