Blessing Tafadzwa Mutonho

I’m a 22 year old artist from Zimbabwe who does various kinds of art. I started drawing before I could write my name… at kindagarten my teacher used to ask me why I was always the last one to finish drawing when assigned to do so …the reason was because I always wanted to add detail taking me lots of time…in grade one I was entered in the school art team after drawing a realistic male lion..2008 we moved to another area and I started learning at another school…morale became very low there since the club there was not vibrant so I was showcasing the talent in notebooks… I continued doing that till form 4 when I decided to start participating in art competitions …I met Christwish Mulunga who inspired me and mentored me …from there I continued participating in competitions winning in most …l did well in my accademics but I’m convinced I have to pursue art though some people do not think that … that’s the war now …I use charcoal and graphite to draw…I work with paint, cardboard, wire ,glue anything that helps me achieve what I want
