Known for their quality and beauty, Thomas Blackshear's Ebony Visions line of figurines were designed to portray the beauty, elegance and dignity of African-Americans. Each figurine is a limited edition piece that is a testimony to Thomas Blackshear II's incredible sense of design, unique eclectic style and extraordinary mastery of color. This line of collectibles has been described by the term "Afro-Nouveau" due to the figurines being influenced by Art Nouveau and African culture.
