"I was born on January, 7, 1973. In college, I had a part time job as a gallery assistant with the National Theatre Art Gallery where I witnessed several important exhibitions that inspired me, including Bertimeus Prize Competition, the Four Best Watercolorists, and The Kiddafest Toy Exhibition.
"Even from a very young age I've always enjoyed drawing – which I would do on any flat surface. After secondary school, I realized that art was what I wanted to do. During my time at the National Theatre and in college, I studied with one of the very best artists in Ghana, Mr. Kofi Nduro.
"My inspiration comes from God, because on him I depend and with him I do all things. I attain the artistic goals I set to the highest degree through God. I love to portray the beauty of women. I also like to express my feelings on how women are treated in general. And sometimes I also depict social and political issues.
"I exhibited in 1999 on the theme 'Nature and Time.' I also exhibited in Togo in 2001 alongside different Togolese artists. I exhibited at the National Art Centre in 2000 on the theme, 'The Unknown Artist.' I mostly use acrylic, oil, canvas and card as a medium."
