The Perfect Throw!

Product picture

This was a gift for a first time mom's nursery. It went so well and was so soft! She used it in the rocking chair every night and is now a reminder of such sweet memories.

Luxurious sweater

I love this sweater. The weight is substantial and the colors are rich and gorgeous. I receive compliments every time I wear it. Very well made and sized generously.

Cedar and mahogany sculpture, 'The Woman and the Condor'

Exqusite and dynamic!

Product picture

I have a lot of folk art, including a number of other pieces from John Barrow, and I am mostly only interested in depictions of animals, plants, and geometric forms, not humans. However the colors of the women's dress, combined with the condor, make this one of only a handful of pieces I have in my collection depicting humans, and I am extremely happy with it! One thing I realized I especially love about this piece is the dynamism that comes from having the condor sticking out away from the piece's center of gravity.
