Teenager turns art into a career

The teenaged told Arts and Culture that she accidentally ticked art as her practical subject when she started her Form One. As the saying goes, “everything happens for a reason”,  and that day, Twala’s destiny as an artist was made

“I was surprised when I excelled in the subject. I even got three awards while studying at Bonnington (Junior School)for art. I therefore decided to continue with the art subject at my senior secondary school and I also learnt a lot from my teachers. However, my senior secondary art classes were harder compared to Junior Certificate. However, I did not throw in the towel and decided to take my teacher’s criticism as an inspiration to work harder.”
