About The Artwork
The Fixer uses a seamstress as its subject to depict the once close relationship most Ghanaians had with their clothes in the years passed. It was a common sight to see these seamstresses and tailors share the usefulness of their craft with the communities they lived. The thoughtfulness and skill that went into their craft was unparalleled, as they would often go through their routes in the neighborhood several times regularly. If their work wasn’t well done, they would have an earful. I made this portrait, my first ever using chalk pastel as a medium, as a love story to the art of sustainability. May it never die by the cruel hands of fast fashion.

Ghana
With a focus on open-impressionism/fauvism, I make art - so you can escape into a world filled with COLOR and experience joy. Over here in Ghana, West Africa, the ever changing social landscapes are an endless source of inspiration. I am inclined to offer an accurate representation of what is, and references for my work are not staged. Its my way of offering topics for discussion that delves into what currently is (our present state) and why we are the way we are. The larger part of my work involves teaching people the Bible, so I share resources I have with them, in hopes it helps to improve their lives. Over the years, I have seen many benefit from this work. When I get back to my studio, I recreate these precious shared moments with whatever I have available: acrylic, oils, pastels on cardstock or when I can afford it, canvas. You can look forward to seeing more of such, as well as behind the scenes pictures. Think of it as our shared travel diary! Enjoy!
