Ceramic and wood retablo, 'Grant Us Peace'
By Sheila
Christ, the Prince of Peace
With her usual consummate artistry and imagination, Erika Ulloa offers a prayer for peace in her depiction of the birth of the Christ Child changing soldiers from agents of war into bringers of aid and comfort. For me at least, this takes just another nativity scene in my collection to an instrument of contemplation and of motivation for working for social change. It is a true work of art, that changes the viewer.
Wood sculpture, 'Blissful Buddha'
By Manuel
Love It!!
Received the Blissful Buddha sculpture today and Im happy with it! Good wood work - smooth and even stain all around. Detailing of the Buddhas face by the artist is great!. Makes me want to smile too!! Size, weight, and proportionality is also good.
Wood sculpture, 'Buddha and Lotus'

Wooden Buddha head carving
I love this art piece, and it is a great addition to my small collection. The wood is beautiful and blends well with my wooden trunk where I have it displayed. I have limited space, so the Buddhas mid size is perfect. I have one other piece by this artist, and the attention to detail is exquisite. I will treasure both for many years! It also was very carefully packed in many layers of paper to protect it during shipping.
