I was born on the 15th of August 1967 in a family of 5 boys and 5
girls in Masvingo province. Idid my primary level at St Mary`s and
my secondary at Zengeza 1 High in Chitungwiza Township.

I started carving in 1993 i was inspired by the late Kennedy Phiri. I
started carving rhinos and Shona art,I alsosculpt chameleons,crocodiles
and frogs.I enjoy carving frogs because they are a wonderful sight,
that is whyI do them on colourful stones such as Opal, Fruit
Serpentine, Verdite and Cobalt.

I work in Chitungwiza Arts Centre, Ienjoy mixing with different artists.

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.
