dominique blanchard

Dominique Blanchard’s glorious reliefs and masks are a synthesis of both African tribal art and modern abstraction.  Dominique's masterful blending of rich oxidation, reduction glaze and intricate textures are intensified by raku and other low-fired techniques. His greatest source of satisfaction comes from working with the elements of nature: CLAY, WATER, AIR, and FIRE. 

wawi amasha

Wawi Amasha’s paintings depict African life in a joyous splendor that virtually leaps off the canvas.  Her obvious empathy for her subjects adds a raw honesty and freshness to her work that bursts with positive energy and emotion.  Please consider both Wawi’s African traditional art and her explosively vibrant abstract paintings as we lovingly welcome this charismatic, lively artist to Arts That Work!

Maasai villagers

Artisans from Kenya have donated their incredibly intricate jewelry and other artistic efforts to fund the charitable work of Vital Consultants, a unique international non-government affiliated humanitarian aid organization. The purpose of Vital Consultants is to save lives and ease the suffering of those in acute crisis in destitute regions of Africa.  They assist refugees fleeing their homes en route to safe shelters by providing basic essentials for survival, including medical care, food, clothing, blankets and other supplies.  Honor yourself with the creative efforts of these African villagers as you help Vital Consultants fund their compassionate work.
