The Art Residency Centre, in collaboration with the St Patrick's Society, recently hosted a captivating art and wine event at Linnaeus, Sanitas, showcasing breathtaking contemporary art pieces by local artists.

Among the creative minds behind the beautiful art pieces was Ann Gollifer, an Edinburgh University graduate who studied History of Art Masters back in 1983. Gollifer's work, inspired by Botswana's earth colours, was showcased in pieces like "Blood Moon" (2022), a watercolour on Indian cotton paper sold for P18,000, and "Caligrafia" and "Coqueiro" (2024), earth colour paintings on Indian cotton paper.

"My work evolves out of a studio-driven material practice," Gollifer explained. "I've been investigating Botswana's earth colours since 2020, leading me to a deeper understanding of the people and landscape of Botswana, my adopted home. The greater body of my work has always been an attempt to discover home," she said.
