I am a 38 year old artist from Zimbabwe now living and working in South Africa. I started painting at the age of 9 years in the city of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. I became fascinated with the art of drawing and began to make sketches depicting cars and dogs. My canvas in those early days was pieces of scrap paper I brought home from school. Soon after my mother and father began to notice my talent they made a decision to send me to Mizilikasi Art Centre in Bulawayo. I was now about 15 years of age and it the first time I came into contact with paint and proper canvas. It was here I learned about proportion and the mixing of colours to create the perspective and hues that depicts life the way I see it. Today I have my own studio where I work from home. My art now proudly hangs in homes from Cape Town to the Netherlands the United States of America and Panama.

This painting is oil on stretched canvas and measures 84 x 83cm.
