About this artwork
The painting “Work Time, No Play” presents a striking contrast between the serene beach setting and the focused energy of four women engaged in serious business. Rendered in soft, impressionistic brushstrokes, the scene captures the shimmering waves and golden sands, but the women dominate the foreground. Dressed in professional attire, they are animatedly discussing ideas, surrounded by pots and calabashes their expressions a mix of concentration…
and determination. The vibrant blues of the ocean and the warm hues of the sun create a lively backdrop, emphasizing the juxtaposition of leisure and diligence. This dynamic composition conveys the message that even in paradise, ambition and collaboration thrive, highlighting the drive to succeed amidst a stunning coastal landscape.

I start with a dance move.
Before the brush touches canvas, my body does. Rhythm comes first. Then foam. Then scar.
I am a contemporary abstract artist based in Accra, Ghana. My work lives between chance and decision. Foam is chance — it lands, it spreads, it refuses to be controlled. The brush is decision — it cuts, it directs, it scars. I do not hide the repair.
Each painting is a record of movement, mistake, and mending. I layer, I press, I wound the surface, then I mend it in public. The cracks, the overlaps, the places we tried to fix — that is where the truth lives.
Born and raised in Accra, my studio practice is rooted in energy, ritual, and material honesty. I work primarily in mixed media on canvas, building textured surfaces that hold both violence and healing.
For me, art is evidence. Evidence of a moment, a risk, a body in motion.
