Story Behind the Art:

Each angel sculpture is meticulously hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone, a rare and naturally occurring stone found only in southwestern Kenya. The mining process is entirely manual and labor-intensive, using only traditional tools like shovels, picks, axes, and machetes to extract large chunks of stone. Skilled artisans then chisel, carve, sand, and polish each piece into a unique work of art, preserving a rich cultural heritage.

✨ Every angel is a one-of-a-kind treasure—an artistic symbol of grace, strength, and timeless craftsmanship.
