| William Kwamena-Poh was born in Ghana, West Africa, and moved to the U.S. in 1980, when his father accepted a Fulbright Scholarship to teach in Alabama. He opened his gallery, Osibisa Fine Arts, in 1993 in Chicago. Kwamena-Poh works to connect African and American cultures through his art. Ironically, he did not appreciate Ghanaian culture until after he had moved to the U.S. His works illustrate scenes from African and American life, showing the similarities between the cultures. Using watercolors to create his art, he is developing an international following for his works. Kwamena-Poh currently lives and works in Savannah, Georgia. |  Photo by Stephen Berend/Savannah Morning News | |
