“A treasure: A young shepherd caring for her llama in the Andes.”

I am the happy owner of 3 of Mr. Barrows sculptures (so far). This Cuzco Shepherd is just beautiful, unique and very detailed. It shows the love between the shepherd and her llama. The colors he uses to stain the wood are also beautiful. I especially like that this sculpture portrays a part of Andean life and culture. He is an artist and is able to turn small pieces of wood into the most beautiful works of art. I absolutely love his work and thank him for bringing such beauty into my home. I treasure my sculptures from him.

“Lovely Piece”

After gifting some of Johns work to others, I had to have one of his pieces for myself. All of his work is exquisite and I am sure you will love it as much as my gift recipients and I do. I am saving to buy more of his works of art for myself.

“Couldnt let go”

The first time I saw this Nativity set we were coming back from my boyfriends first vacation in Peru in 2022; we just purchased the Elephant from the same artist for our house and we were leaving the store. We both loved it, but had to make it to our flight, so we left. I regretted not getting it the second I took my seat on the plane, but it was already too late. Back home, this masterpiece would come back to my mind every now and then, Id look for it on the internet but never found it. Last November I remembered it again and without many expectations I googled it, again. Unexpectedly it just showed up and I couldnt let it go this time... I ordered it right away and I received it right on time for our 2024 Christmas season. John, this is a beautiful piece that brings me so much joy! Every time I pass by it, I cant help it but stop and stare at it, admiring every detail and the beauty of this set.
