NOMAD: RED IMPACT

An unlikely store in an unlikely place, Nomad also has an unlikely mission. As an established gallery of African Art in downtown Ojai, Nomad doesn't just sell beautifully handcrafted textiles, masks, sculptures and jewelry. It is primarily a foundation started by its owner, Leslie Clark, to help the artisans that make the products. According to the Nomad website, "The Nomad foundation combines ancient skills with new technologies to bring prosperitiy to a nomadic people."

Red, the color of confidence, power and strong emotion, is a fitting symbol for such a dynamic establishment. It's a magical color. Like all things truly magical, it can leave you breathless and speachless. It can come dressed in mystery to startle you, seduce you or make you wonder. The red textiles are magical but it's the story that really makes an impact.
