"I was born in Accra and I grew up to become a friendly and curious person. It is my curiosity that has guided me in learning this art and honing my skills. I got interested in wood carving when I was a child, when I used to visit my brother's workshop. He is Salihu Ibrahim, a featured artist.
Â
"I used to go to his workshop when I returned from school and try my hands at sandpapering masks. When I completed junior high school, my parents could not further my education and so I joined Salihu at his workshop. I got paid for the work I did, which I saved to be able to buy my own tools.
Â
"I remember a time, when working with my brother, that he sent me to pick up some items from a friend, and I had to travel a long distance. However by the time I arrived, I had forgotten what my brother sent me for! I felt so embarrassed. I returned without the items and had to go back for them another day.
Â
"Since I am a curious by nature, I always want to find out how things are done. I was good at learning through watching my brother when he was carving, and then I would try my hand and would ask for assistance when needed. This helped me develop and master my carving skills.
Â
"After 12 years of working with my brother, I started to work on my own. I have taught other carvers, and currently I have four carvers working with me. I love the art of mixing colors and affixing aluminum plates to beautify an item.
Â
"My hope is to become successful and be able to assist several people who cannot further their education due to financial constraints."

The photo drew my wife and I in. We collect unique Santa’s and were looking for an Asian Santa — still an if anyone has a suggestion — when we saw Ali’s ‘Father Christmas.’ We bought it and hoped the piece would be as special as the photo promised . It was. It’s a beautiful piece that will remain in our family forever. Love it!

I expected this mask to be used next year at Xmas time. However, it's too beautiful not to display year round.

This fan is exactly what I thought it to be. It is beautifully crafted for the queen that I am. It is a statement, and it only comes from the motherland. Simply put I love it!
