Australia. She won an award at the 2019 Oscar of African Creativity in Egypt and

was nominated for a National Award in Zambia at the 2019 Ngoma Awards for the

most outstanding female visual artist. She was awarded a Talent Excellence Award

for Mwape Peer Awards 2020 and her work has been published in the Ake Review

2020 Edition from Nigeria. Last but not the least, she has an ongoing virtual art

exhibition via website www.iamwithoutaface.org on mental health awareness. This

exhibition is a collaboration with an illustrator and an author who are advocates of

mental health from Malawi and South Africa respectively.

She has had collaborations with Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa on a

mental health awareness program. With this, in 2022, she launched an art therapy

coloring book for teenagers and adults titled “Free Your Mind Free Yourself” which

speaks on mental health awareness. The book has positive affirmations and

inspirational quotes embedded in the drawings. Furthermore, she also takes small

groups of people through art therapy sessions and mostly for corporate entities, it is

done as part of their team building activity.

Her work is abstract and conceptual and she works with photography and mixed

media on wood

boards. She addresses issues that affect communities through her art and has a very

close

relationship with nature as she believes “we are one with nature”. This is seen in

most of her

work with elements that represent nature
