National Blacks Arts Festival: Artist Market at Greenbriar Mall


After attending the artist market at Greenbriar Mall, I was able to view many different artists work from paintings, carvings, sculptors, clothing and jewelry. I was able to talk with an artist by the name of Buchi Upjohn Aghaji, a Nigerian born artist, who now resides in Douglasville, Georgia. His work consisted of oil, watercolor and acrylic on cold-pressed paper, canvas, burlap, wood and pottery. There was one picture that caught my eye entitled "Sunday Sister" with an asking price of $5,500.00. This painting is very vibrant and it contains many different colors which represents a celebration.
