My name is Lovemore Mangenda. Born on 19/08/1979 in Nyanga Zimbabwe. I started carving in 1997 when I was in Form 3.  I got seriously into carving in 1999 when I finished my ordinary level. That’s when I started carving heads and that’s why I specialize on them.  Verdite, Butterjade, wood and other serpentine Stones are the material I use to carve.

I am one of the four artists chosen to go to Angola and South Africa to be teachers of stone carving.  Mostly i am inspired by history.

I have praised Zimbabwean stone sculpture in the media for many years now, and known it to touch many hearts. I am very happy that I need not take back a single word of that praise. And even happier, that this sculpture has been taken up by the younger generation and has flowered beyond all expectation. Go and give it your support. It is phenomenal — a glimpse of what Africa has to offer the world in this century, which seems to have started so terribly.
