Story Behind the Art:
'I've always been interested in working with under privileged children as I too suffered many hardships as a child. I started a program called 'Children In Need' in 1996 and I started teaching them our traditional bead making crafts. My designs are influenced by Ghana's varied cultural and artistic traditions, of which I've become an expert. I feel blessed with my talent, and I feel it is my responsibility to teach my craft to others.'
