BIO

Getrude Itumeleng Mtshali is a South African artist from Thabazimbi, Limpopo currently studying Fine Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand. She graduated from the class of 2021 at Inscape with a Higher Certificate in Architectural Technology, top of her class. Her passion for the arts started at the mere age of 6 years old as she remembers it as her first time drawing something; a flower. She chose to follow her passion of the Arts after she obtained her Higher Certificate in Architectural Technology.

With over 15 years of experience in drawing and a strong foundation in pencil work, my artistic practice has evolved significantly through my Fine Arts studies. This journey has deepened my appreciation for diverse mediums, including photography, painting, and printmaking, which have become integral to my creative expression.

My work is deeply personal, drawing inspiration from my upbringing, the environment I was raised in, and the people who shaped me. Each piece serves as a reflection of my biography, telling stories rooted in my lived experiences.

Through this platform, I aim to share my creative process, explore meaningful concepts, and celebrate the transformative power of art. If you’re passionate about creativity, culture, and storytelling, I invite you to join me on this journey.
