00:03 I discovered Ace Leanne's passion for painting
00:21 around the age of six months.
00:23 And this was when I was working on a painting commission
00:26 from Miss Universe Ghana.
00:28 And I wanted a way to keep him busy
00:30 while I also did my paintings.
00:32 So I spread out a canvas on the floor and added paint to it.
00:36 And then in the process of crawling,
00:37 he ended up spreading all the colors on the canvas.
00:40 And that was when he created his first masterpiece.
00:55 Usually he'll spend as little as five minutes sometimes.
00:59 But he'll leave the work and come back to it later,
01:01 sometimes days, sometimes weeks.
01:03 So right now, my future plans for him
01:08 is to seek scholarship opportunities where
01:11 he will be found in an educational space
01:14 where his art could be nurtured, as well as probably working
01:18 with international galleries where
01:19 he could sell his artworks.
