We were very lucky to have the opportunity to go meet Ras Akyem Ramsey at his home. He had just returned from a print making excursion, where he made several different series of prints. It was evident why he has acquired the nick name “art animal” as his home is filled with paintings, drawings, sculptures, catalogues, and awards. Ras Akyem is a truly prolific and passionate artist.
We left his home and went to see his new studio space, and he told us of his plans to have it operate not only as his private studio space, but also as a Gallery and a place to hold art events.

Ras Akyem has had a very long and productive career, and spoke about his challenges of having to choose between food and paint. It is inspiring how passionate he is about art.
