Meet The Artist Behind The Masterpiece Emmanuel Nyadedzor Eight years ago my dream was to be able to attain financial freedom, the type of freedom with which I could give my kids the good things they desire. Joining Novica has made my dream come true. I have been able to move from my rented house; I now live in my house with my family. I no longer have to worry about rent or a place to sleep with my family. I joined Novica in 2008 I now produce more goods than before, because I know I have constant customers with Novica. My scale in production increased because the demand kept growing. I also employ labor when production is at its peak; this gives the young ones the opportunity to build their work experience and learn from me. I received the best seller award from Attang.

About our Artist: Ghanaian artisan Emmanuel Nyadedzor recalls, 'After completing a course in auto mechanics, getting a job was difficult, and neither my parents nor I could afford the high cost of the machinery I would need to set up on my own. I struggled by doing menial jobs, but I managed to save what I could until I had enough money to buy a small piece of land and raise a wooden store. I started buying finished carvings, and in the evenings I learned to carve these beautiful items. My inspiration comes through dreams, so when I wake up I immediately put the design on paper in order not to lose the idea.
