Nicholas Mukomberanwa was born in the Buhera District of Zimbabwe in 1940.
His interest in art developed from an early age while receiving an education at mission schools. He joined the "Workshop School" of The National Gallery in 1962 while a member of the the Harare Police Force.
He left The Harare Police in 1976 to become a full-time professional sculptor. His work is represented in the collections of the Museum of Mankind in London, Museum of Modern Art in New York, The National Gallery of Zimbabwe, and in numerous private collections. Mukomberanwa has exhibited work here at Reece since 1988.
