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.

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.
