ARTIST STATEMENT
Baroque horses are one of the great pleasures of Andalucía. They have been bred for a millennium to serve caliphs, kings and queens. This Andalusian stallion flourished under the training of Epona's Vivianna Garcia, in Carmona, Spain. Caribeño's ears pricked for any low words from the rider. He moved with precision and power. I put the arches of the Jerez de la Frontera riding school arena behind him.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Serithea is brought to you by Melissa Hefferlin and Daud Akhriev.
We met pursuing an education at the historic Russian Academy of Fine Art in Saint Petersburg (the Soviet Union's "Leningrad" at that time) at the end of the Cold War. Melissa hailed from the mountains of Tennessee, Daud from the Caucasus Mountains of Southern Russia. A passion to make art brought us together from disparate parts of the globe, and for thirty years we have been (and continue to be) professional fine artists, dividing our time between Andalusia, Spain and Tennessee, USA. 2016 sent us a hunger to make art wearable.
Lovers of rugs, scarves and textiles of all kinds, Daud's family mourns beloved heirlooms lost in the wars after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Melissa's people include architects, quilters, seamstresses and women who lovingly pass down a pair of foreign earrings, a grandmother's Hermes scarf, a fine pair of brogues.
We, too, want to create heirlooms to be worn against the skin. We hope that your life and the lives of those you love are enriched by Serithea's offerings.
SHIPPING + RETURNS
We want our customers completely content and loyal for life. If you are not satisfied with your Serithea heirloom you may return it in perfect condition for a refund of your purchase price. Our scarves are carefully hand-packed before traveling to you via priority mail with a tracking number.
