Rosebird Ama Dadzie is a 27 years old portrait artist who hails from Adidome but resides at Adjei kojo, Tema west.
In an exclusive interview with her online,when asked why she chose Art she said:
"I chose Art because of the passion I have and I also believe that it's a God given talent"
She had her Junior high education at Bennett Caulley memorial school and her secondly education at Ashaiman Senior High.
One of her works which caught my attention on social media is a portrait of an old man wearing a spectacle.
She only specialised in Graphite.
The portrait drawing alone supersedes most artworks by the opposite gender in the Artistry field.
She is a Portrait artist and Eben is a Graphic Designer.
Through the interview I asked her what she thinks about it and what measures does she think when put in place would revive our creative arts industry.
She said :
"Hmmmm it's very bad...what I think we should put in place is that:
we should have art Academy...
Also employ teachers who are really into art and have the passion for art...
Why do I say that?.. most of the teachers that are in the art school were not even art students.
They only read and go to class the following day to teach, so they can't even the take the students through practicals...
We should also invest more in promoting art...
And also have a day the we can say we are celebrating art in Ghana...that involves awarding artist to encourage them in what they are doing..."
The creative arts industry deserves recognition, respect and value since it also contributes to the Ghanaian Economy and is one of the major source of livelihood for most people.
Rosebird has worked on numerous commissioned portraits.
Her hyperrealistic artworks are highly recommended as the best for any festivities.
