Story behind the Art:
The sisal plants are grown in Kenya and are a very eco-friendly crop. It requires little water and can be harvested year-round. The leaves are typically harvested by hand and the green outer leaf is removed and used as animal feed. This leaves behind long strands of super-strong natural sisal fiber that are hung in the sun to dry. Once dried, the fiber is dyed and woven into sturdy and functional baskets.

Having been a small business owner for most of my adult life, I understood the struggles that impact small business owners and artisans. My vision was to create a space that could positively impact those around me and throughout the world to create a substantive impact! Human kindness is often missing in today's busy world. If we could each make small lifestyle changes such as making purchases that support each other, how much could we positively impact one another and the lives and communities we are in?
