Patrick Fredy is a proud member of the Chikunda tribe and the youngest in a family of four boys and two girls. His upbringing in a culturally rich environment fostered a deep connection to his heritage, which would later become a defining feature of his art. In 1983, Patrick married Christine, and together they have raised a family of three boys and one girl.

After working various jobs to establish himself, he was introduced in 1988 to Moses Masaya, a highly respected first-generation sculptor known for weaving traditional symbolism, imagery, and spiritual narratives into his art. Under Masaya’s mentorship, Patrick’s innate talent quickly blossomed. Within a year, he was sculpting independently and participating in local exhibitions. His unique style soon caught the attention of curators, leading to his work being showcased at the prestigious National Gallery of Zimbabwe.
