Sculptor Information

 I was born in 1977 in Guruve and received my primary education at Nyanhunzi School, my secondary education at Mamini High School.

I started sculpting at a very tender age; my inspiration was due to the fact that came from renowned carving family. During my school holidays I used to help my sister Queen and brother Brighton Sango to finish or polish their sculpture. This helped me to obtain and gain very good experience while I was still very young.
In 1995 after completing my secondary education I decided to become a fulltime sculptor. In 1998 Tom Blomefield invited me to join Tengenenge Art Group. I worked with them for two years. In 2000 I an invitation to Netherlands from a gallery called World Art Foundation to do workshop and exhibitions. It was a successful exhibitions and workshops. In 2001 I was again invited to Netherlands this time by a gallery called Kunst In Depolder, once again a successful exhibitions and workshops was held. In 2002 I was invited to Germany to Enlaoe Gallery and we had a successful exhibitions and workshops.
I now consider myself as one of the successful third generation sculptors. I have received three Merit awards from World Art Foundation, Kunst in Depolder and Enlaoe. I am still striding to further improving my sculpting techniques and sculpture.
