Originally from Ghana, I studied painting at The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, College of Art, where I earned a BA in Art (Painting and Drawing) and an MA in Art Education. I later received an MFA in Painting from Bowling Green State University. I moved to the United States in 1994 after a major solo exhibition of my works created in London were exhibited in Accra, Ghana at The Artists Alliance Gallery. Since moving to The United States, I have taught art at The University of Toledo (1997-2001), Bowling Green State University (1999-2000), The University of Oklahoma (2001-2006) and currently at SUNY at Buffalo (2006-present). My paintings, performances, and installations have been shown internationally in Germany, Portugal, England, Holland, China, Denmark, France, Nigeria, South Africa, and in Ghana.
