X'aga, a quiet, shy woman, was born sometime during the late 1950's, early 1960's in the Ghanzi District of Botswana.
During that time her people still lived as hunter-gatherers. She still remembers the men returning from the veld with meat in their hands and bow and arrow sets over their shoulders. She loved going out into the Kalahari veld with her mother to gather tubers, berries and other veld food. The most pleasant of all foods were the Khuts'uu, (wild truffle) which they could find after the late rains.

She also remembers the times when the rain stayed away and the veldfood was scarce. Those were the hard times that she would rather like to forget. She remembers the cosiness of the fire circles and the many dances at night. Those are some of her very special memories.

She joined the Art Project in 1997 where her talent was soon recognised.
Her favourite subjects come from what she remembers so well from childhood. The veldfood, birds and small animals such as tortoises and beetles still fascinate her. The veldfood has become the symbol of life for her and for the other women artists. She works in a spontaneous and direct way from memory.

She has no specific colour preference but enjoys mixing them at random depending on her mood.
Her work ranges from large, bold, colourful canvasses to smaller lino prints with fine sensitive lines.
