Medium: Digital Art

Background: Zimbabwean

Location: Melbourne, Australia

About the Artist:

Ever since I could hold a crayon in my hand, I’ve loved to draw. The concept of being able to create something just spoke to me. Art to me is both a language and an outlet and the fact that it is open to interpretation is one of the most beautiful things about it. 

As an African (Zimbabwean) woman, I find the representation of black people in art very important and this guides me. My medium of choice is mainly digital, however, I do still enjoy working with pencil and paper.

My aim in the future is to use my illustrations to create dialogue and show that we as Africans have a lot to contribute to the world of art.
