Story Behind the Art:

Nana Frimpong is the chief carver for the king of the Ashanti. 'Some of my work for the king includes objects with the gye nyame (symbol for the supremacy of God), stools, staffs and other royal and ceremonial objects. My dream has always been to invest in my children's education. I am happy to say that this is now possible -- two of my sons are in university, the first of our family to obtain a higher education. My other primary goal is to help my community, so that the poverty that plagues them will be eradicated completely. Above all, I wish to help make it possible for peace and tranquility to prevail in my community and the nation of Ghana. My advice to the world is that we should as a matter of urgency stop all wars so as to make the world a better place for everybody to live in.'
