Moyo Crafts

My name is Lloidy
from Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe.

I started stone sculpting in 2000 and bead sculpting in 2003. I am a self-taught artist. My colourful, fun glass bead and wire sculptures are inspired mainly by the African bush but also from everyday life too.

I am from the Shona tribe and my stone-work is Shona sculpture, which is a tradition of my people for many generations. Carving is a spiritual process for me and I like to speak to my stones when I am carving.

My art is called Moyo Crafts because Moyo is my totem (clan). Moyo is a Shona word meaning heart. My pieces are heart crafts because they come from spiritual meditation. I hope you enjoy my artworks.

One love & Jah bless, Lloidy
