I have always been interested in studying and visiting other countries. I enjoy meeting people and experiencing their environment, even if only for a brief time. I have a degree in Anthropology and it was during my studies that I was exposed to the amazing traditional artwork of West Africa, Mexico, and many other countries. I am continually impressed with the beauty and function of the art produced by the world's wonderful artisans and I'm happy I have a place to purchase some of that art.
