To the Elder’s of the Coast

In 2025, Pie spent three months in Watamu on the Kenyan coast. Invited by Local Ocean Conservation, she lived alongside local fishermen to create a body of paintings shaped by shared time, conversation, and work on the water.

The project celebrates the character, traditions, and lived knowledge of Watamu’s fishing community. Each painting was made in close collaboration with the fishermen themselves.

Proceeds from the sale of the works directly support the fishermen, their families, and wider community, as well as Local Ocean’s ongoing marine conservation and education work in the region.
