From the Market

This graceful acrylic painting measures 60” x 48” and commands a prominent place in your home.  All the colors in the rainbow are strutting their stuff here!  The women’s vibrant clothing, however, is trumped by the majestic brilliance of the African skyline.  What powerfully serene art!

Maasai Bride

I think this is my favorite of Wawi’s African paintings.  I had the pleasure of seeing this original acrylic portrait and cannot adequately describe the detail that Wawi invested into this glowing young bride’s wedding garments.  I love the spectacular color combinations, the application of soft blues and purples and the radiant sunny tone of the subject’s countenance.  The artist has skillfully captured life’s radiance at its height!  18" x 24".

Abstract #15

This bold statement on canvas is so very imaginative that only real peacock feathers could add to the impact.  Therefore, the artist has incorporated real peacock feathers into her dazzling composition.  The entire piece has a shining finish that really makes it pop!  Have you ever seen anything quite like this??!!  This magnificent art belongs prominently on display for all to enjoy.  36” x 24” acrylic with peacock feathers and pouring medium on canvas.

Evening Gossip

Life’s colors burst forth, brilliantly adding zest to an otherwise commonplace African scene.   As evening falls and the day’s labors wane with the light, a moment is stolen to enjoy friends’ gentle camaraderie.  Wawi certainly knows how to capture serenity in a composition.  This lovely original acrylic painting measures 30” x 40”.

Abstract #14

Swirls of colorful peacock feathers dance across the canvas in this whimsical explosion of energy.  This is mixed media at its finest!  Wawi’s vivid imagination is a blessing to the world.  Arts That Work is so honored to offer this treasure to our friends.  Acrylic and peacock feathers on canvas, this original painting measures 36” x 24”.  Unbelievable!

Ready for the Hunt

The powerful energy emanating from these hunters is only outshone by the dazzling primary colors used to portray them in this 48” x 30” acrylic painting .  Wawi has, once again, captured the splendor that is Africa in a regal display of majesty and wonder. 

The Future

Note the faces of the women in Wawi’s paintings are generally hidden while the children face the viewer in shadow.  This is the artist’s statement about life in Africa today.  This beautiful composition exemplifies Wawi’s mastery of the brush as well as her sensitivity to Africa’s challenges and its enduring faith in its own future.   This colorful 18” x 36” original acrylic painting is truly stunning.

Abstract #17

Gaily gyrating colors burst forth from this glorious feast for the eyes.  Peacock feathers (of course) adorn the canvas as only Wawi knows how!  The artist has poured a gloss medium over the entire composition in a fashion that creates an even brighter array.  The canvas measures 24” x 36” and radiates pure soulful energy!

Self Reliance

Wawi is incredibly adept at depicting everyday life in Africa, as exemplified in this image of a young woman’s daily ritual of strength and self-sufficiency.   The vivid sky harmonizes perfectly with the intensely colored clothing in this simple display of might and natural accord.  The acrylic painting measures 24” x 30”.

Hope

In another glorious creation of color and composition, Wawi blesses us with a gentle moment of mother and child lovingly melding one into the other.  Complete with Wawi’s perspective of African women in shadow, the artist provides a glimpse of Africa’s future and its hope.  This beautiful original acrylic painting measures 22” x 30”.

Turning the Earth

In this brilliantly hued depiction of toiling African village women, Wawi continues her theme of women with faces in shadow garbed in the brightest of colors and patterns.  The artist’s love and empathy for her subjects shines as clearly as the magnificent African landscape.  This emotional acrylic painting measures 36” x 24”.

Abstract #16

What joyous art Wawi has created!  Bright colors, bright energy, all wrapped in startling splashes of life force and spiritual ecstasy.  The artist has poured a glossy medium over the composition for a professional polish that adds an even more vibrant quality to this very special piece.  The art measures 24” x 36” and was fashioned from acrylic and pouring medium.

Journey Home

This poignant depiction of matriarchal African life is classic Wawi art!  The magnificence of the multi-colored landscape is dwarfed by the spirited intensity of the perfect villagers and their lively garb.  This artist knows how to capture life’s moments, complete with all its wonders.   18" x 36".
