'I was born in 1948 in the Volta Region of Ghana. I have always been a creative person and loved art from hood on. I love the look of the finished work. It makes me happy. My cousin's brother in-law taught me to carve wood, and I mastered this art by being creative and persevering. I find my inspiration in nature clouds and even shadows on the ground. I have taught this art to ten other people, hence giving the community a sense of livelihood. I have hope for the future, and dream that my carving workshop will flourish and grow.'
