Holding his harp tenderly, a man strums tunes from his beloved Andean highlands. He wears a bright chullo hat and colorful cloak in a fascinating sculpture by John Barrow. "It's part of my 'Folklore' series that is inspired by this beautiful country and its regional traditions," says Barrow with admiration. He makes the sculpture with hand-carved segments of cedar, mahogany and ishpingo woods, which he dyes with natural pigments.

“Amazing”

I have purchased more than half a dozen of Johns work - some for gifts, but I love his pieces so much that I have five in my home. I cant say enough wonderful things about his art. Many Thanks John and Novica!

“King David on the Harp!”

When I saw this online, I was drawn to it. It reminds me of King David of Ancient Israel & Judah playing the Harp. Have a special person in mind to give it to as a gift. I did open up the package and admire it greatly. So tempted to keep it for myself! It is has that special spirit in it.
