Palm Wine Seller, wall hanging: Home & Kitchen. Also, many art students come to me for brushing or polishing. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. This is the portrait of a palm wine seller returning from the farm with a clay pot filled with wine, explains K. Baka. She is the only palm wine seller in her village, Agbozome. A perfectly detailed composition, Baka uses dyes and pigments extracted from plants to obtain the fascinating colors that enliven this composition. Artisan Info: Artist K. Baka has been featured in Red Herring magazine. My name is Kwabena Kufuor Afriyie-Addo Jr. (also known as K. Baka). I was born on Tuesday, July 2, 1968 in the eastern region of Ghana. My father is Benjamin Kwabena Kufuor Afriyie-Addo and my mother is Nancy Afriyie-Addo. When I was a child, I used to draw a lot. I was so interested in art that in school it was the subject I got the highest marks for. Actually, it was a gift - a talent. I later entered art college for a three year diploma in art. That was from 1990 to 1993. After graduation, I established my shop in the house. While in school, I was painting and selling, so after school I did not need to undergo any brush-up or polishing. I do paintings, craftwork, billboards, screen-printing and signboards. In 1997, I had 20 students whom I taught painting, batik, and textile making. Presently I have two apprentices.
