Circle of Life captures moments from Zimbabwean daily life and culture. Through paintings and sculptures, artists from Zimbabwe tell their stories. Their works are filled with vibrant color and shape imagery that echoes a joyful connection to their communities and the land. This extensive body of work is from the private collection of Jess and Laura Brown. All artwork on exhibit is for sale and all sales will benefit the artists directly.

We thank Jess and Laura Brown for sharing their private collection of contemporary African art in collaboration with us.
