Authur was a finalist in the Young Sculptor Awards 2006 competition organised by African Millennium Foundation.

Authur was born in 1979 in Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe, into a family of four. His parents divorced when he was young, so he grew up with his mother's family. He went to school up to ordinary level and passed five subjects. He started doing arts at the age of ten, moulding clay animals and clay pots.

When he was nineteen, he started stone sculpting. Authur was inspired by his close friend Ronnie Dongo, son of Joseph Ndandarika. He is related to the Ndandarika family, and is still close to Joseph's first wife, Locardia. Authur worked with Ronnie for a year and then started out on his own. Later, he also worked on an informal basis with artists at the Chapungu Sculpture Gallery such as Ignatius Zhuwakiyi and Dino Baradza.

Authur's brother Arab is also a well-established young sculptor.

Authur's work was part of a group exhibition 'Dialogue In Stone' held at Centre Island, Toronto in Summer 2006. His pieces have been exhibited worldwide.
