How my passion started

My first trip to Africa opened my eyes to the beauty of this continent's art, in particular the stone arts. I toured my way over the land absorbing all the fascinating types of art. After speaking to several artists working with hand-carved stones, I knew I wanted to learn more about the customs and meanings of the pieces. My excitement grew as I waited on a container of stone artifacts I had shipped back home to the U.S. This interest was the start of many trips back to Africa to experience more of the culture surrounding their art. Artifacts from Africa are my passion, and an exciting way to display another aspect of art in interior decorating. Each piece of art has a heartfelt meaning derived from a history and culture of love.
