The late Jimmy was born in the Mazoe District in 1960.

School life was full of artwork for Jimmy, where he painted and drew and won great acclaim for his work.

In the beginning Jimmy started painting from 1979 to 1990 and was inspired by his surroundings in which he painted. Jimmy started sculpting on his own in 1991 and his works include birds, torsos, figures, heads and other creations.

Jimmy was a good friend to many and a great artist to his admirers.  May he rest in peace and god bless his family.

A real treat here in Wimbledon. At Cannizaro Park a superb open-air exhibition of Zimbabwean sculpture. There were many pieces, large and small, and a wide variety of different stone used in imaginative ways. And, overall, a real sense of Africa, linked to a long artistic tradition.

I was told that many of the sculptors had been trained within their own families: a father, an uncle, a grandfather, passing on the old skills.
