Born in 1994, Kganya Mogashoa is the founder of Koranges Art (pty) Ltd. She is currently working and based in South Africa, Johannesburg. She enrolled at the University of Johannesburg to study Interior Design (2013 - 2016) where she obtained her Btech Honours Degree and eventually quit her full-time job to pursue her passion for Visual Art in December 2019. She is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist who creates mixed media and primarily oil paintings.

She focuses mainly on portraiture and figures. Her artwork is inspired by people in and around her life, her journey with God, her heartfelt life events, and the desire to resolve social ills closely related to women and mental health.

As a contemporary artist, her desire to see a changed narrative propels her to capture moments, inspiring women or general people in her life that reflect the change she wants to see. In her most recent series, she explores various techniques, incorporating the richness of colour, the future of women and human life in the plight of cultural intelligence. She intends to restore a sense of meaning for the purpose of life and she challenges the accepted status quo in people's ideas and belief systems through her artistic expression.
