Sharing the Secrets of Shona Art
The Chapungu sculptures that currently grace the Garden are exquisite and beautiful, but the stories behind them are what make them truly great works of art.

Bob has designed and lead tours for over 11 years, and lectured on the life, work and influences of artists such as Dale Chihuly, Roy Lichtenstein, Fernando Botero and more.
