Sculpture
The ART of Natural Hair African Venus” was created by the sculptor Charles Henri Joseph Cordier in bronze in 1851. The sculpture was created as a companion piece to an earlier work created by Charles Cordier entitled “Said Abdullah of the Mayac, Kingdom of the Darfur”. The model was a young African woman by the name of Seïd Enkess who was a former slave in France. Both busts became popular after France abolished slavery in 1848. Charles Cordier himself was sympathetic to the abolitionist movement and believed in the beauty and equality of all races.

An Artisans Marketplace

The production, exchange and distribution of handcrafted goods, have been one of the roots of cultural identity in all cultures.  Our community is a beautiful multi-ethnic population filled with cultural creativity and talents  from all over the world.  People are doing great things as a hobby and  for their home based businesses to supplement their incomes and make a living in this economy.

.  Therefore, as an effort to preserve craft practices, inspire new innovations, circulate income and encourage creativity and business opportunities in our own community, a brand new network of Artisans and Entrepreneurs is emerging. 

We believe in the power of crafting and entrepreneurship and we'll strive to give our networking partners pride and identity in the local community as Artisans and small home based business Proprietors.

Peace, Love & Blessings,
Alisa, Debra & Sonia
