Story Behind the Art:
My name is Victor Dushie and I was born in Accra. I grew up in a community of wood carvers and designers, which naturally made me interested in it. I learned from Sasu Kanu, who worked closely with me, teaching by example and helping me practice sanding my creations.My creations are made from sese wood, which is readily available in my local markets.I am inspired by the Bible as well as other artists. My favorite part about this craft is designing.My family works alongside me, helping me sand down my creations before I put the finishing touches on them.
