A painter Kgaotsang Neiso, 24 from Mmadinare had always dreamed of being a full time artist. For many of local visual artists, that dream feels just out of reach.

Gradually, Neiso dropped everything behind and was able to pursue his art fulltime.  For a person who studied art from primary school all the way to tertiary school, Neiso has learnt the ins and outs of running an art business.
