I grew up in a remote part of Zimbabwe called Nyamandhlovu which means Meat of the Elephant.
I am the youngest of six children, and my childhood was blessed with the joyous pandemonium that only such a large family can bring!
I attended boarding school as a weekly boarder for my entire schooling career.
My life has been blessed with times of chaotic company and fun but also with many moments of quiet solitude to be alone with my paintbrushes and the stories in my head.
I have been visited by tragedy and heartache, happiness and love – the last two of whom; I am glad to say, have been my most constant and long lasting visitors.
I am now deeply in love with and blissfully married to my best friend and soul mate – Mark.
He is my pillar of strength that calms and channels the chaotic buzz in my creative brain!
I have four hilariously diverse children in my life. They are a constant source of hilarity, frustration, love and inspiration. The mere thought of them “bubbles up a warm giggle” as I reflect on what a blessing they are to me.
