I have also had courses on Foundation in Export Marketing and Training Workshops on Business Management. I did my National Service at the Asante Mampong National Service Secretariat on projects. I produced collage works for the secretariat to raise funds.

I also taught graphics design (print making) picture making and calabash art both theory and practical at Cambridge Junior Secondary School a private Kumasi, Ghana. # I also taught some senior secondary students as a part-time teacher in picture making. I have also done few workshops on drawing and painting and collage works for Africa/Caribbean Association in Watford, UK.I therefore decided to work on my own so I registered my company with the Registrar General's office in Ghana (Ben -Art Enterprise) and also registered as an Exporter (A small scale enterprise, exporting painting and collage works)

I recently participated in an art project called "THE DREAM LANDINGS," a fifteen-artist exhibition' organised by exhibition coordinator and curator Jolanta Jagiello for artists who use the history of their ancestors or friends who migrated to Britain as the basis of their works.

I am a member of the African/Caribbean association, Watford area art forum in Watford and a member of the Midland Textile Design Forum. I have also designed a book cover for the Afro/Caribbean Association (Elders project).
