This past October, photographer Michael Weintrob
had the opportunity to venture deep into the culture of Peru,
with his camera and designer, Nicole Linton. As the founder of
the art collaborative, è bella, Nicole creates high-end
hand crafted rugs, pillows, wall hangings, personal accessories
and clothing while supporting Quechua communities in the high
Andes of Peru.

The philosophy of é bella combines creativity
and innovation to promote a more peaceful and socially responsible
world.
|
Since 1999, è bella has become
a bridge between cultures, an alternative to labor intensive factories,
and a provider of sustainable incomes for artisan families and their
communities.
|
|
The finished products are collaborations from diverse
cultural backgrounds, uniting them through the language of art.
