Phathisa comes from a family of carvers, and began carving in 2000 under the instruction of his brother. He continues the family tradition by carving our beautiful giraffes out of Jacaranda wood. He is originally from Victoria Falls, where the rest of his family still resides in a village in the rural area surrounding the Falls. Nowadays he resides in Chitungwiza, Harare, where he is the father of two boys and a girl.
