About the Artist

Born 24 February 1966 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Emigrated to Durban, South Africa, in 1968. Emigrated to Durban, South Africa, in 1968. I have no Art schooling and no formal training, so entirely self-taught. I paint people in line and wash and acrylics, and acrylic jungle scenes, but my true passion lies in sculpture in polymer clay (for 27 years). In 1997 I started my art career at the age of 31 after completing 5 years of Audit articles, a career in business and 7 years in Game Reserves. I came up with a Chess set of The Old vs New Parliament of SA at 1994 elections. I make chess sets of the greatest Musicians, Soccer players, Golfers at the Ryder cup, Actors and actresses, the State Capture Chess set and The World Leaders Chess set – Money vs religion. Currently I specialize in sculpting (only Polymer clay) bespoke chess sets, wedding couples and your favorite band, or musician on stage, and colorful people in the townships (Max size 17cm). I also make large unique polymer clay portrait earrings and teach sculpture classes.
