"Artisan Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboah of Ghana creates a lovely artwork of a rhinoceros bathed in the colors of dusk. The artisan embellishes calico cotton fabric with purple and black paint to create a batik look, cuts from that fabric the pieces that form the rhino and glues them to an off-white fabric panel speckled with red for the land and blue for the sky. The artisan adds details to complete the scene, such as grass drawn around the rhino's feet. The collage is backed with heavy cardstock paper and framed with dark ceiba wood."

“It has been 12 years since I started working with Novica. This organization has helped me support my children’s education as a single father, and I’m very proud of what Novica has done for me as an artist.
“When I started art as a business, marketing was my main challenge. But since this organization helps me reach the world with my art pieces, it is no longer a problem. I have been able to inspire a lot of young talent to be able to create good art. My goal is to reach the world with my great artwork. And I say thank you for pushing me this far.”
Original Artist Story
"My name is Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboah. I was born in the Eastern Region of Ghana on July 3, 1956.
"I worked at a government survey department from 1981 to 1982. I was later asked to attend their Cartography College. Upon graduation I worked further, but due to lack of professional satisfaction, I left for Nigeria. That was in 1983.
"In Nigeria I worked with a sign-writing company. I started with the sign writing department but later changed to the artwork department. I polished my art skills in that department. I later worked with a company that exported African arts and crafts. We toured the whole of Nigeria buying goods. It was on one of these tours that I came across this type of artwork and fell in love with it. I suggested to the owner of the company that I make some.
"In 1993 I decided to come back home. I started working on my artwork. I sketch images on paper. I then assemble my working tools - glue, watercolor, and cloth. I sprinkle the watercolor on the paper to make it beautiful. I cut out all the sketches and make them into beautiful designs. Afterwards, I leave it to dry and then I frame it. I derive my motifs from social, cultural and historic events.
"I am a single father of two - a boy and a girl."
