Biggie Kapeta was apprenticed to his uncle Sylvester Mubayi for some years before working independently, although the influence of Mubayi was often reflected in his work.

A quiet, considerate man he was chosen for the residence program at Chapungu where he spent two very creative years, During this period he finished a number of fine sculptures.

Before his untimely death he tried to establish a cultural centre at his home in Chiweshe where he could assist young artists to market their work." (from (visit link) )
