Over the years I have purchased several paintings and ceramics, which were created by Cuban artists. I have traveled to Cuba four times, visiting Havana, Trinidad, and Santiago de Cuba. I met many of the countries artists and talked with them about their work. During my visits I bought several art pieces. I have also purchased additional work from dealers in Canada.
