NEW: Single mother finds solace in art

Online Reporter

AT the age of 38, Mufaro Nhambure enjoys the transformative power of art.

Nhambure recalls her deep connection to art from childhood when she would play with her grandfather’s artwork.

From a young age, she found solace and self-expression in painting, a passion that has guided her through life’s trials and tribulations.

After her divorce, Nhambure battled with depression and faced the worst part of adulthood, but she has found comfort in painting.

In an interview with The Sunday Mail Online, she expressed how her passion has helped her escape depression.

“I feel at peace and find relief through portrait painting,” she said.

She said art was an inspiration to her students when she was a teacher at Tsholotsho High School.

“Art is more than just a subject. It’s a way of life, we live and speak it and it touches our daily lives,” she said.

Nhamburo is studying for a Master’s in Education Art and Design at the University of Zimbabwe.

Her first exhibition at the university, themed ‘Capstone Exhibition’, marked her journey into entrepreneurship as she got to meet different people and share her art.
