    Story Behind the Art:

    Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboah left Ghana for Nigeria in 1983. 'In Nigeria, I worked with a sign-writing company. I started with the writing department, then went to the artwork department, where I polished my artistic skills. I later worked with a company that exported African arts and crafts. We toured the whole of Nigeria buying goods. It was on one of these tours that I came across this type of artwork and fell in love with it. I suggested to the owner that I make some for export. We bought one, and I modified it. In the process, I created something new and unique. In 1993, I returned to Ghana and spent several years as a fulltime artist. Today, I work at it part time, deriving my motifs from social, cultural and historic events.'
