Issa hails from Ivory Coast (Cote d’Ivoire) in West Africa but has made the central highlands his home for almost 15 years with his partner Monica and family.
Issa draws on his West African artistic and cultural heritage as well as his life journey and the inspiration provided by nature to create unique sculptures – always evoking positive energy.
He provides an “akwaba” – smile filled welcome to anyone wanting to visit the garden and sculptures and receive its positive energy.
Issa Ouattara creates unique contemporary sculptures and furniture in mild steel. His recent works are featured in the grounds of a historic goldfields church 12 kms from Daylesford. Open most weekends or by appointment with artist working on site.
