Karuga passed away on 9 February 2021 at the age of 93.

Karuga is known for her collage works depicting pastoral and domestic African scenes, commonly villagers, farmers and animals. They would go on to be shown internationally, but she began to produce commercial art only in her 60s, when she had retired from teaching.

Such materials may include photographs, films, unique literature and writings, newspaper cuttings, maps, infographics, traditional weaponry, musical instruments, body adornments, furniture, crafts, attire and original vipande (IDs).
