The 39-year-old Mahalapye native said art is her God given talent but tapestry crochet has been her bread and butter after graduating in 2017. She started doing art during her primary school days and continued with the subject in secondary school.

Oahile also said when she joined tertiary, she wanted to do something different because art was already in her blood. “I chose to study something business related because art was already in me.
