About Artemis

Artemis was a Greek Goddess. She was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and was the twin sister of Apollo. She was the Goddess of the hunt and is associated with the natural world, with wild animals, trees and woodlands. She roamed the mountains, forests and new lands on her hunts but very often rather than hunting, she ended up protecting the animals and seeing to their well-being.

For these reasons, it felt very appropriate to name my adventure ‘Artemis Creations’. Like Artemis, we hunt and search around the World. Like Artemis, we appreciate the beauty of the natural world. We believe that surrounding yourself with beauty, feeds the soul and lifts your spirits. All of our items are individually chosen for their uniqueness and for their natural beauty. Nothing is mass produced. The pieces come from many countries around the World and are representative of the art and the culture of that region.

The concept which brings the collection together is ‘unique art inspired by nature’. Indeed, most of our pieces are hand carved and sculpted from wood and stone. For instance, we have a collection of Shona art from Zimbabwe, all of which are hand carved and hand polished. The Shona artists do not design a piece beforehand. They believe that their task is to chip away and let the stone reveal it’s natural beauty. The result is beautiful sculptures, which are truely inspired by nature.

The ‘Artemis Creations’ collection is incredibly diverse. We have massive ebony carvings from Tanzania, which are unique and very rare to find. We have beautiful pieces of natural art in the form of giant crystals, like massive Amethyst geodes to huge fossil plates that are between 300-500 million years old!! These again are nature's work at it’s most stunning. From Asia, we have giant Buddhas, which would bring peace to any home, plus embroidered tapestries and carvings. And from closer to home, we have hand blown glass from the Czech republic, paintings from Russia and a collection of original old posters from Europe. Included in this is an original poster by Leonetto Cappiello, who was known as the ‘father of the modern poster.’

The ‘Artemis Creations’ collection is an eclectic mix of art from around the World. Every piece is unique, as we are all unique individuals. They are generally large ‘icon pieces’ that make a statement about you, who you are and your place in the World.
