Trish Graham is a Canadian who lives in Ghana. She came to West Africa to work in micro-finance with CUSO, a Canadian development organisation. While there she fell in love with the creativity and warmth of the people. She now make her home in Accra, working with the local bead makers to create unique jewellery.

Trish says: “Many of the beads I work with are locally produced, often from recycled materials. Some of the beads are very old, drawing on Africa’s long rich tradition of bead making and use. I find it inspiring and exciting to interact with the traders and bead producers and to be a part of an ancient living tradition.”
