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’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!
