Artist Mission Statement
I work with clay because I love the physical interaction with the material. My current work embodies the technical challenges and creative dynamic of improvisation.
My life's work is to incorporate my artistic concerns with education and economic development through international cultural exchanges. The Ghana Art Program is a cultural arts program with workshops in kiln building, traditional pottery and the construction and decoration of traditional ceramic architecture of Northern Ghana.
