Adjei Adjetey is a talented Ghanaian visual artist who was born and raised in Accra. He has been painting professionally for over 10 years, although art has held a special place in his life since he was a toddler. He is a product of "Ghanattaa College Of Art and Design" with Diploma in Visual Art. He completed his standard education at La Presby Senior High School and a year later, he had the opportunity to further his artistic skills in Ghanatta College Of Art and Design where he was introduced to the broader side of art. He was first an apprentice at the Joe Mensah Art Studio for less than a year right after senior high. Experiencing that Visual Art in highschool was more of theories than practicals, he knew he had to do something and that was what triggered the need for his apprenticeship and he refers to it as an experience which really did him good. He intends to hone his Visual Arts skills and become an important and successful Artist. As such, he's open to greater knowledge and believes he is worthy to be at the top.
