Gladmore Chikumbirike


Gladmore was born on the 14th of December 1961, in Wedza. He is married, with a son. Gladmore left school in 1975 after finishing junior school.

He started carving in wood in 1978 and then changed to Ivory. After the elephant-culling ban in 1985 Gladmore converted to carving stone; mainly Ruby Verdite and Opal.

His cousins, Noah and Peter Chikumbiriki, played a great part in his life and were a great influence in his future chosen career of "realistic carving". Gladmore comes from a large family of carvers, two brothers and ten cousins who are all known locally and internationally for their Ruby Verdite carvings.

Gladmore has exhibitioned at the John Mann Gallery.
