We have made it a point to only list artist's that we personally know & love their work, or have contacted us & we love their work. We take great pride in helping get the word out about unique artist's -
If you are an artist and would like to be featured on our site, please drop us an email @ primed4design@gmail.com. We would love to feature you, especially if you are in the DC Metro area.

And last, but certainly not least, is Aerin Adamson's breathtaking photography of Africa. "These photographs were taken during an overland expedition beginning in Tanzania and ending in South Africa. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was not on the itinerary, but the situation there is an African problem and what happens in the DRC has a reverb effect throughout the entire continent."
Order Photo Prints from the Gallery Page and Help to Fight Femicide in The Democratic Republic of Congo. 60% of Print Sales will be donated to Help the Congolese Women. We can't think of a better way to spend our money!
Here a just a few of her beautiful photos:
