“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.

“Makes me smile”

John Barrow is one of my very favorite living artists, and I have collected quite a few of his pieces. When I opened this package, I was greeted by this jaunty fellows delightful grin. The light-hearted sculpture is a departure from Barrows other work. It is shiny and whimsical and so much fun. I purchased it on a whim, but it has quickly found Its way into my heart.
