Leslie Lumeh

Leslie Lumeh is a self-taught artist. He discovered that his paintings had value following the civil war that tore his country into pieces when he started recreating scenes from the war, first in simple pencil sketches, and later in watercolors on drawing paper, then finally onto canvas.

David Wolobah

David started painting at age 13, inspired by the colors his mother employed in basketmaking. Percieving his son’s talent, Mr. Flomo took David to the Ministry of Information, Cultural & Tourism in 1988 to serve as cadet under the then Director of the Graphic Arts division, Mr. Baryogar Reeves. Upon his successful completion of a few layout assignments, David was promoted to Junior Artist, maintaining employment at the ministry through 1991. David first exhibited his work in 1995 during an art exhibition sponsored by the then ITC Bank, now International Bank (IB) in Monrovia. Since then he has participated in several local and international art shows and won several art awards, the most recent being the Spanish Embassy’s art contest in March 2009 under the theme “Empowering Liberian Women”, where he won 2nd place. David works from his home studio in Monrovia and displays his work at Art of the Heart Gallery, YES Building, Suite G-1A, 80 Camp Johnson Road, Monrovia.
