Everything originates from the earth and eventually returns there. This statement makes me want to paint figurative scenes in earth tones. In order to convey complex ideas in my paintings, I employ Ghanaian adinkra symbols, western themes from Nigeria, florals, and animal forms.

Due to my difficult upbringing, I use my art to relive my formative years and the life I would have chosen to lead if I could. I am inspired to create by women, children’s feelings, and people’s behaviors.

I want my paintings to continuously remind my viewers of the importance of parents in a kid’s development and the fact that every child has the right to a happy existence in a society dominated by technology and independence.

My sculptures are primarily made of clay, wood, fiberglass, and bronze, with humans and animal forms as the predominant subject matter. To give the idea more depth, I add elements like antique musical instruments, fossils, and everyday objects. My sources of inspiration are both current events and historic sculptures from West Africa. My sculptures are intended to communicate African traditional ideas and values while educating through provocative thought.

I have sat in front of every landscape in this collection, astonished at it, and relished it. Although I’m happy to have caught the solace they’ve given me, I hope you also get a sense of how wide they are. I want to mimic the air of mystery of the colors, lines, and shapes in today’s modern civilization.
