Jonothan was born on Christmas day 1974 in Mvurwi. He attended Primary school in Mvurwi and also completed his O levels there.

In 1989 Jonathan’s good friend Square Chikwanda asked him if he would like to come to Tenegenenge sculpture village to try his hand at stone carving. Jonothan agreed and spent six months there learning the basics under Square Chikwanda. Jonothan then decided that rural life was not for him and he moved to Harare. It was there that he met and worked under the tutelage of the late Joseph Ndandarika at the Kentucky Hotel. It was a formative period for the young Jonothan who was taught a great deal by the masterful Ndandarika. His influence can still be seen in Jonathan’s work in such aspects as composition, composure of expression and fluidity of line.

When Ndandarika passed away in 1991, Jonothan move to Hatfield and began to work on his own. In 1997 he joined Chapungu Sculpture Park on the artists residency programme. He is undoubtedly one of the major young talents of Zimbabwean stone sculpture. He is preceded by the likes of Benhura and Supini but is consolidating his position daily. His work can be seen as classical within the Zimbabwean context, as he attempts to give form to his past. An exciting, if not erotic factor in Jonathan’s work is the theme of sexual relations between man and woman,in all their phases. His book reader series has also received wide acclaim and is an area he is currently exploring.

There is much to love about the pairing of ZimSculpt and VanDusen. The combination of art and the garden enhances the experience of both. The larger Zimbabwean sculptures seem ideally suited to outdoor display: they are perfectly at home rising from a bed of perennials or standing tall beside Cypress Pond, and they act as dramatic accents to the Garden’s picturesque landscapes.
