Tshikhuthula was born in a small town of Tzaneen (South Africa) in 1983. His love for Art began when he was only 12 years of age where he learned drawing and painting landscapes. He then took it further by enrolling himself at Matongoni Art Academy in 2005. During this time, he was introduced to the variations of media and methods, enabling him to explore wood sculpture, paper-mash, clay and stone. This was the time when he was mentored, and his talent cultivated by the founder of the academy, Avhashoni Mainganye. The next chapter of Tshikhuthula’s journey as an artist was with Artist Proof Studio in 2009 where he learned different art forms of printmaking which significantly cultivated him to become the artist he is today. This part of his journey opened a lot of doors for him, and saw him working with the industry’s heavyweights, such as William Kentridge and Nandipha, amongst many others.
