EARLY LIFE:
“If it had not been for my own persistence, my journey to becoming an artist almost certainly wouldn`t have happened. I had a passion for art in my younger years but didn`t go to art school.
Instead I went to church, which turned out to be my circuitous route into becoming an artists and sculptor. On my way to church at Silveira House Catholic Mission I would pass through the workshop of the late Internationally acclaimed artist / sculptor Amos Supuni. As an untrained youngster I would drop in and ask about learning sculpture and whether I could become his apprentice. For a long time Amos refused to entertain the idea, until one day my persistence finally wore him down and he eventually agreed to me becoming his apprentice. I worked for Amos for three years and it was the best apprenticeship in Shona stone sculpting that any young man could have dreamt of.”
