Marion Nyanhongo Marion Nyanhongo, born on the 26th of July 1996 in the Eastern Highlands (Nyanga). She did her primary education at Mazarura Primary School and secondary education at Avilla Mission.
After school she worked in the textile industry until 1994. Marion was then encouraged to take up stone carving in 1995 and this was not difficult for her, because most of the family members are artists. Her father helped her with the tools and she worked side by side with her sister Agnes and husband Joseph Munemo. Marion´s main inspiration and courage comes from the world famous woman sculptors Agnes and Colleen Madamombe. The sculpting seems to be mainly a man´s job but Colleen and Agnes have proved to her that talent is regardless of gender. Since then Marion has never looked back and within a few years her work has been accepted far and wide. Marian's work reflects women’s situations in the society, the role they play and their emotions. She uses the human figure as a way of conveying her messages of today, rooted within the African traditions. Artist's Sculpture (Click to view):
