Naa did some paintings of Stephen after meeting his mother, Doreen Lawrence some years back. The painting can be seen at The Stephen Lawrence Centre.
Naa is originally from Ghana. In 2006 she helped create The Tse Ataa Mensah Foundation which currently supports children’s educational welfare in Ghana. She studied art at the Prestigious Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London. As a child in Accra she taught herself art by digging clay, drawing with charcoals on pavements, and using her fingers and sticks in the sand.
She works in a variety of mixed media but mostly loves painting and sculptures. Her unique work was spotted by the Leicester City Gallery during her degree show and were consequently exhibited there. Naa has also held an exhibition at the Rugby Museum.
Amongst her many admirers is the British art critique Brian Sewell and Chris Ofili, a Turner Prize-winning British painter.
