Frame: 13.4 " W x 19.3 " H x 0.8 " D Painting: 11.4 " W x 17.3 " H Weight: 0.29 kg -Mixed media -Arrives framed Ships from NOVICA Office in Ghana NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. A dramatic silhouette from the sensitive imagination of Emmanuel Yeboa. She is a member of the Fulani people, a traditionally nomadic cattle-herding culture in Northern Nigeria. As a vendor she travels with her child strapped to her back, a gourd filled with milk balanced atop her head. Dressed in colorful batik cloth, a simple necklace adorns her graceful profile. Yeboa explains for us his process, "First and foremost, I assemble my working tools, after which I sketch images on the calico cloth. With the sketches done, I sprinkle red and green oil paints on the calico cloth to give it a simple colorful background. I then cut out particular places I intend to replace with batik, which are later glued together." Accented in drawing ink. Arrives framed in tweneboa wood. Handmade by Emmanuel Atiamo Yeboa "My name is Emmanuel Atiamo-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 NigeriaI 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 for export. We bought one of the works, and I modified it and in the process created something new and unique. "In 1
