My inspiration comes from the beautiful bush veldt and the people of Matebeleland, a province of Zimbabwe. The colours I use are the rich tones so loved by the Ndebele people and used to decorate their clay pots and adobe huts, the theme is usually connected, albeit sometimes rather remotely, to my lovely home land, a land now missed and even mourned by so many of my fellow Zimbabweans who are now scattered to the four winds. But my work is intended to evoke pleasant emotions, not dark ones, so I hope you enjoy my work.
