Itumeleng Koloko, born in Randfontein - West of Johannesburg. I refined my desire and passion for art in High School when visual art was one of the majoring subjects available. However, I went on to study my Bachelor of Commerce (Principles of Marketing and Management at the University of the Witwatersrand). Studying art was not an option as my family wanted me to be able to get a "paying job" after University. From being an Operations and Strategy consultant at KPMG to a Strategic Manager at Discovery within a space of four years, I still could not shake off my love for the arts which I believe is my God-given talent. Price Range US$ 484-880 Exhibitions None so far Education Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) - University of the Witwatersrand People who chose Itumeleng's work also chose work by: Find other:
