Sculpture Information
Ngoni Mrewa was born in 1965 and is from the Ngoni district.
Ngoni is the fourth born of five children. He was educated at the Ingagni School from grade one to grade seven; from there he went to Mrewa Secondary School where he did his O-Levels.
It was during his secondary school education that Ngoni became interested in art, drawing and carving. His brother was an artist, so during the holidays he taught Ngoni art and for about a year he carved until he joined Canon Paterson Craft Centre in 1976. Ngoni likes to carve creation, most of the time, which he creates in his mind, and he feels that every piece of work he makes he must see that he has put a 100% effort into it, so as to increase his thinking and improve on every carving he makes.
Ngoni quotes: “I love my work and would not want to leave my job”.
