“Art for the heart”

In the past I have bought this artist s work in Peru and was thrilled I could order additional pieces from Novica to add to my collection. Not only was I able to order pieces I had not seen in Lima, it they were less expensive.

“I always love John Barrows birds!”

I have several pieces from John Barrow, including every piece Ive seen by him featuring brightly colored birds. Im always watching for when he puts out a new colorful pieces featuring birds, and this was the first Ive seen in a while. I love birds, and the mosaic sculptures he makes are a really great fit when they are colorful. They also have a really nice aromatic smell to them which I think is the wood he uses—Ive noticed that smell in Sugos work (also a woodcarver from the Andes) as well.
