Story Behind the Art
Born in a small tribal village in Ghana, West Africa to a family with 12 children, carver Akwasi Agyeman had limited opportunities. His family was so poor that he was limited to a 7th grade education so he could help his father on the farm to feed the family. He told me at 7th grade his teacher asked each of them to make something for art class. He produced a fertility doll as his project and his teacher was amazed that he knew from that time he had a natural God-given talent. When Agyeman started, he lived in a small dirt one room shack. After ten years of doing business with him and with the help of Fair trade, he's now married with two handsome boys. He employs 15 people and has built a small, three bedroom house for his family.
