About Me.

I am a Zimbabwean sculptor who creates hand-sculpted porcelain figurines, often described as African fairies. Each piece is a reflection of both my roots and my journey, drawing inspiration from my childhood in Zimbabwe as well as the resilience I’ve found after many years of living with illness and chronic pain.

Through my work, I seek to capture the delicate balance between beauty and struggle, transforming emotion, memory, and everyday moments into forms that celebrate the extraordinary within the ordinary. To me, even the smallest gestures of life hold magic, and every new day is a blessing worth honoring in clay.

As a self-taught artist, my process is intuitive and deeply personal. No two sculptures are ever alike, each figurine carries its own story, shaped by hand and heart, waiting to connect with those who see a piece of themselves within it.
