About the artist
Member since the very beginning
MUCHA KACHIDZA, A SOUTH CAROLINA BASED NATIVE OF ZIMBABWE, HAS BEEN PAINTING SINCE SHE WAS 11 YEARS OF AGE. ALTHOUGH CLASSICALLY TRAINED, SHE HAS DEVELOPED HER OWN PAINTING TECHNIQUE, WHEREBY SHE LAYERS, SCULPTS AND CREATES TEXTURE WITH PAINT. HER LARGELY FEMININE INSPIRED CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS OFTEN DEPICT WOMEN HOLDING OR SURROUNDED BY LUSH FRUITS,VEGETABLES AND FLOWERS. MUCHA ALSO CREATES ABSTRACT AS WELL AS SURREAL PAINTINGS. SHE STARTS EACH PAINTING WITH FOUR OR FIVE BASIC COLORS, GRADUALLY MIXING AND CREATING VARIOUS HUES AND TEXTURES AS SHE PAINTS. MOST OF HER PAINTINGS ARE CREATED ON GALLERY WRAPPED CANVAS, WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO BE HUNG UNFRAMED. MUCHA HAS ALSO CREATED DESIGNS FOR A MAJOR RETAILER’S LINE OF BED LINENS, NOW AVAILABLE AT SELECT STORES AROUND THE UNITED STATES
