Tall, Beautiful Woman!”

I purchased the wood sculpture African Woman Loves Life from artist Anna Yawson. A tall, beautifully carved figure. So interesting with metal inlay. Very talented artist! Thank you.

Brings a smile”

I purchased the carved wood figurine Asevi by artist Anna Yawson. I just love this cat statue on my mantle-it brings me a smile. I have purchased a few of the carved items from this artist, they are always beautiful, always quality-a very talented artist. Thank you.

This is such a delightful cat :)”

I bought Asevi as a gift for a friends birthday and wanted to take a look at him myself first, and wow, this figurine is an absolute delight to behold. Gorgeous and bigger than I expected and so pleasing to the touch! I almost wanted to keep the figurine for myself but decided I would just get another one sometime later. I love everything about it, the shape and gesture of the body, the detailing, the color - every element comes together with striking personality. This cat may have left my hands but I think about him often.
