I welcome you to visit and explore
www.arustudios.com,
a place to share my images and art. Africa is the continent I have dreamed of since I was a young boy. Africa is the place I still dream of today. When I paint, Africa is the place I go. Some of the paintings are of African wildlife while others are of cultural influences. Africa is composed of many nations that offer many opportunities for the artist to explore. Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Rwanda, Togo, and Uganda are the countries I have visited so far. The people, the cultures , the history and the wildlife of these countries have supplied me with a lifetime of inspirations to paint. I still dream of returning to Africa to see places I have not yet visited.

 Please enjoy!
