My name is Emmanuel Austin Ankude. From hood on, I have had a natural proclivity for artwork. During the early stage of my craft, mobilizing funds on my own to purchase my first work tools was difficult. But starting on my own gave me a feeling of fulfillment. I feel proud and to be self-reliant. I never learned this craft formally or undertook any apprenticeship to learn or master it. It is a God-given talent I was blessed with. I find joy and fulfillment in using the gifts of nature to create works of art. I also find my inspirations in God almighty, in nature and in my loving family. My dream is to achieve the highest level possible in my craft. I hope to give my the best in education.'
