Meet The Artist Behind The Masterpiece

Hand-Carved African Masks

In 2000, I went into carving and since then I have never regretted it. But I haven't abandoned painting completely either.

I am now self employed and there are five assistants working with me. In addition, I have taught seven other people how to carve, and they are also on their own now and doing well. When I get large orders, I call on them for their assistance. I look forward to training more people in this craft and also to continuing with my paintings
