She is a multifaceted artist whose work speaks to her heart, her community, and her culture. Kgosimodimo has used her innate talent to create a thriving career that bridges the gap between personal expression and professional success. Her story is one of following her instincts, even when it meant turning her back on a formal qualification in favour of a path that fulfilled her creative soul. “I’ve always been gifted with art since I was eight years old,” Kgosimodimo recalls. “That’s when I first noticed my talent, but I didn’t dive into it seriously until I went to varsity. During my spare time, I started drawing, and people began showing interest and were willing to pay for my work. That’s when I realised that this could be something I could do full-time. After graduating, I decided to focus on my art career,” she stated. Born and raised in Molepolole, Kgosimodimo pursued a degree in Motion Picture Medium at AFDA College in Botswana but upon completing her studies, she made a conscious decision to turn her attention to painting. Despite having a formal qualification, she chose the path of an artist when she found herself struggling with unemployment after graduation.
“It wasn’t easy,” she admits, “but I believed my talent could come in handy, and I trusted that the work would eventually speak for itself.” Kgosimodimo runs Gomolemo Kgosimodimo Arts, a successful business that sees her creating stunning portraits, murals, and drawings that resonate with a diverse audience. From high-profile figures to businesses and everyday individuals, Kgosimodimo’s work has found its way into numerous homes and public spaces. “I’ve always wanted my art to be a reflection of my life and the people around me,” Kgosimodimo explains.
