Being an artist is my passion and a way of life and it is a way of keeping our culture. Molding clay animals in my child hood days, I know that my playground passion would one day be my live hood. I started art in 1994 and I started to attend international work shops in 1996 up to date.
Born in ghanzi in 1973, I run the qore art gallery in thapong visual arts center, dropped out of school while in standard 3 at dkar primary school. I could have been doomed to a life herding livestock and doing odds jobs like most uneducated people.

Lets getting know more about our artists and their art and crafts
Traditionally, women dominate the art of pottery creation and basket weaving in Africa, with a keen eye for detail, and a finer touch to bring sculptures to life. Up until recent years, it was assumed that on the other side of the spectrum, men were contributed to creating the highly celebrated pieces of ceramic art.
