Story Behind the Art:

Born in the eastern Region of Ghana, Eric Darko graduated from the secondary technical school in 1999. Darko studied carving from his brother, learning from his talents. Right after school he went straight into traditional woodcarving. Initially, business was slow, hindered both by the lack of financial resources and inability to procure quality materials. With help from his family, especially his brother, Darko's enterprise has since been growing tremendously.
