Embracing female art

Emang ‘LadyArtist’ Maranyane is a promising talent who has managed to overcome the limitations of her gender in order to excel in a field dominated by males.  She quit her studies as an accounting student at the University of Botswana (UB) to pursue her passion and build her artistic reputation.

 Arts and Culture sat down with LadyArtist about her journey so far, which started in junior school when she was required to choose an optional subject. “I didn’t know what to choose and I accidentally choose music and art,” she recalled.
