My name is Mucha Kachidza. I was born in Zimbabwe and now live and work in the U.S. I received classical training in high school, after which I came to the U.S to study commercial and fine art at the American Intercontinental University in Atlanta. My paintings are uncompromisingly bold and highly textured, incorporating themes pertaining to the spiritual, sensual and feminine. I am influenced largely by the work of artists such as Frida Kahlo,Benny Andrews and the Shona stone sculptors of my native Zimbabwe. My paintings can be viewed in person at Lybenson art gallery in the beautiful coastal town of beaufort in South Carolina. In addition, please feel free to visit my website at www.kachidza.com.
