townships. Acquired my pre-school in Bulawayo, tertiary school in Harare.

for 1 year as a Decorator, worked at Pottery Company named Water-berry the
second year. My farther always wanted me to go to an art school, but the tuition was beyond our necessities.

I happened to work on a woman being raised by two male figures, which became best drawing out of all the schools. I came to Cape Town in February 2007 to further
my career in my art field. Things were a bit |
