HUMANS IN COLOR

ART COLLECTION

(view) 

Since founding the ZAAF Collection, my canvas has been the designs I have embarked on, inspired by the people, places, culture, and traditions of my homeland of Ethiopia and of my greater motherland of the African Continent. Seeking to funnel all these inspirations into beautiful functional designs, I have also striven to draw out and develop people to engage in producing our wonderful pieces at high standards, helping lift the entire industry in, and image of both Ethiopia and the Continent. All the time in these recent years I have yearned to pick up a brush and put paint to canvas, but simply could not given my non-stop responsibilities.

Because of how the door has reopened for me to paint due to the current crisis, I have purposed to direct the proceeds from the sale of these initial pieces to the benefit of charities assisting in Prince George’s County, Maryland, where the ZAAF shop was humming with a wonderful enthusiastic and supportive clientele before the crisis hit.

With Love,
