(Roni Jesson)

Godfrey Chimhanzi, born in Wedze10/10/69, lives with his wife and child in Kuwadzana, Harare. He has been sculpting for five years and says he began for the love of expressing his view in art. He most enjoys sculpting figures as he feels most people are more readily able to understand this type of work. His grandfather is also a sculptor. Godfrey's work has been exhibited at the National Art Gallery of ZImbabwe.

Pangani Kwinjo
was born in Mutoko, ZImbabwe, on the 23rd April, 1963.

Panganai now lives in Dzivarasekwa. Married with one child, he has been sculpting for eight years. He prefers abstracts (his dreams sometimes influence his work) and likes most to work with serpentine, rapoko and opal.

David Justin

David was born in Kwe-Kwe, a small town about 200Ks (125miles) from Harare. He lives now in a suburb of Harare, with his wife and one child. David has been sculpting for four years. He was strongly influenced to become a sculptor by his father, who is also an artist, David produces fine art and creative pieces of extraordinary imagination and skill.

David says he enjoys challenge in his work and, in fact, he "hates sculpting 'easy pieces'". His preferred stones are serpentine and rapoko.
