I graduated from RISD with a degree in Art Education. Always inspired by African art, I visited Ghana many years ago and part of me never left.

I did volunteer teaching in Ghanaian schools, went to traditional villages to study indigenous crafts, started taking people with me and started Aba Tours. One day I spontaneously bought a beautiful piece of land next to the ocean. It took 10 years to build, but now Aba House is a guest house/cultural center open to people from all over the world who want to live and work on a personal level with creative Africans.

I see people come to Ghana and leave with a superficial understanding of a wonderful country and people. I want to introduce them to the real Ghana, away from tourist oriented activites. We are in a fishing village...that's a good start.

My long term goals? Creativity by definition is always changing. I'm open to wherever it takes me....as long as it's warm.
