Photography from Liz Bernard
Last Thursday we attended a small 'Art in Embassies' reception at the U.S. ambassador's residence in Ouagadougou. The ambassador is from Wyoming, so there were lots of beautiful paintings and photographs from the West (including a paid of remarkable Sioux beaded moccasins presented to her grandmother in 1919!). An embassy staffer, Liz Bernard, is also a photographer, and had lots of her photos on display. They can be purchased through her online gallery.
