Mrs Franchesca Dove-Aryeh 

Founder and Manager

Mrs Franchesca Dove-Aryeh was born in 1941 in Accra, Ghana. She had her Primary and Secondary education in Ghana, and then went to Windsor Secretarial College in Windsor, England. She worked for the Managing Director at Whiteleys in Bayswater, London for 6 years. After that, she returned to Ghana and worked for Robert Malek Ltd. as his private secretary and then started exportation of ceramic flowerpots to an interior designing company called Pandora services in Lagos, Nigeria. 

She is also the Founder and current Proprietress of Dove Cot Montessori and Primary School, which was founded in 1993, and located at Accra, Ghana, West Africa.

In 2302, Mrs Franchesca Dove-Aryeh decided to establish an Internet based shop to promote the beautiful African art worldwide (the company is officially registered as TopicalO2, no:BN-42459C, Ghana). She spent over a year for the careful planning and product selection. Finally her vision turned to reality by her nephew Anthony Nkansah and close family friend Mr. James Mantikas.  Both Mr Nkansah and Mr Mantikas have a BEng (Hons)  and MSc in Broadband Telecomms from the University of Kent at Canterbury (U.K). Their technical background enabled them to design and setup the contemporary looking and very user friendly site ARTICIMO.COM for Topical 02.  Mr Mantikas is currently working in England (UK) as a broadcast Engineer, while Mr Nkansah is reading Doctor of Philosophy Electronic Engineering at the University of Kent at Canterbury (UK).
