African Heritage Collection - Booth # 402-403
Julius
Aboagye, the CEO of African Heritage Collection, traveled to Ghana to
inspect progress on the company’s new product innovations for
2006/2007. Below is an excerpt from an interview he did about his
trip.Carving is a multi-phase process requiring specialized labor to
make a product. Phase one, begins with selected logs of wood cut from
fallen trees and dried in the sun. The carvers, with simple tools, then
begin a complex process of chopping, chiseling, and sheering the log to
form a rough shape of the item.

Joyce Lomax - Booth #
Love of art came early to Joyce
Lomax who spent her childhood in Akron, Ohio. As a child, Joyce
found
herself drawing and painting and always exploring her creative
expression. The money was not there to support Joyce’s formal
training in art so she did what many of her forefathers did—she
self-taught! Joyce explored many mediums before she embraced her
pressed copper paintings and ceramic work. Her art is very earthy
with a primitive flare depicting characters and experiences in her
African American environment. Some of her
depictions are lighthearted with a bit of humor.
A love of
color, stories and expressing herself in mixed media is an accurate
summary of Joyce’s art work. She and or her art can be found at
many
cultural events in and outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Joyce has won
several awards: Afr’Am show in Norfork, Virginia and South Dekalb
Heritage Festival Palette Award 2003 “It is a privilege for me to
create and share with you similar experiences—art is about the ability
to
express feelings through the chosen medium—hopefully someone gets it… I
will continue to explore!”

abstract figures,” the sculptor explains. With his striking ceramic

up imagery that beckons us to view ourselves and the world through an
