Picket Mazhindu Bumhira
Picket Mazhindu Bumhira was born 1968 in the Seke communal lands near Harare, Zimbabwe. Picket had a passion for art from childhood and during his school days, he loved drawing and painting. He was very inspired by the sculpture of the late John Takawira, one of Zimbabwe's first generation of Shona sculptors, whom he met in Chapungu. They then agreed to work together. Later he started to sculpt on his own. Some of his works made the headlines in the newspapers, including Spirit of Love, which was exhibited in Victoria Falls during the Arts Gala. He exhibited in the UK and Germany. He was among the sculptors who went to China for an exhibition at the Poverty Reduction Summit. Picket likes working on springstone and opal and especially enjoys making abstracts.
