Sculptor Information
Marion was born on the 26th of July
1996 in the Eastern Highlands (Nyanga). She did her primary education at
Mazarura Primary School and secondary education at Avilla Mission.
After school she worked in the textile industry until 1994. Marion was then encouraged to take up stone carving in 1995 and this was not difficult for her, because most of the family members are artists. His father helps her with the tools and she worked side by side with her sister Agnes and husband Joseph Munemo.
Marion’s main inspiration and courage comes from the world famous woman sculptors Agnes and Colleen Madamombe. The sculpting seems to be mainly a man’s job but Colleen and Agnes have proved to her that talent is regardless of gender. Since then Marion has never looked back and within a few years her work has been accepted far and wide.
