About
I was born in Koforidua, Ghana until i moved to the US with my family in 2005 to Philadelphia. From Philly, i lived in a suburb with an Italian family for three years to attend high school and then moved to New York for college. Now I live and work in New York At Phillips Auction house while still practicing my Art.

About their Work
I work across various mediums, including painting, drawings, and mixed media. My work explores the contemporary African identity in the diaspora and examines the intricate details of the history and experiences of cultural diffusion and its assimilation through representation. I am interested in the duality of being by engaging materiality, texture, colors, and movements.
