By Gomolemo Kgosimodimo
A dedicated creative woman whose name was Coex’ae Qgam, popularly known as Dada. I used to see her on TV back in the 90s and during those times it was very uncommon for women to be active in the art space. She gave me hope; she inspired me to believe in my talent.

Gomolemo is an acclaimed painter whose work has captivated audiences around the world. Born in Molepolole, Gomolemo identified her talent from as early as 8 years old. Because of life challenges and expectations she never dreamt of pursuing art as a career until she graduated and came face to face with unemployment. She slowly developed a passion from pouring her heart out onto the canvas. Her distress eventually turned into gold and she started painting commissions and making a living out of it.
