When the going gets tough, many young people abandon their passion more especially in the creative industry just to pursue careers that secure their financial stability because the local art industry can be very challenging at times.

Despite that, 21-year-old Olebile Bulang who is a second year nursing student at the University of Botswana has vowed to never trade her passion for anything. Even though the young woman aspires to be a nurse, she swore to keep on pursuing art as a way of raising awareness. In an interview with Arts & Culture, Bulang said she has always loved drawing from a very young age.

The talented young woman said she chose to do fine art or visual art because of her love for it. For Bulang, art means that she could express herself and spread awareness using visual art. "Most of the time I use pencil but I also use other art mediums like charcoal, coloured pencils, oil pastels and I did my current art piece using a ball point pen and acrylic paint. I also use German print on some of my drawings.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
