Story Behind the Art:-
BIO UPDATE (March, 2019)  Eka was born on August 11, 1978 in Tampaksiring Gianyar, it's a tranquil village in Bali that still has strong Balinese customs and cultures. Her Father is a hard worker wood carver and her mother sells garments. She is the first child of total 3 siblings.   I'm Ni Putu Sri Ekawati from Bali, I'd like to introduce my wood carving collection to the world. People said I'm a stubborn woman with strong principles and never give up. I like aerobic, yoga and also reading.   I came from a simple family that strongly hold Balinese customs and discipline. After graduated from a nursing academy, I was married by a coconut-shell carver from Mas Ubud, Putra Suteja who have been featured as Novica artisan and we have been blessed with a daughter and a son. Unfortunately after 2 years of our marriage, my husband passed away after suffered from lung cancer for almost 1 year. He left us while our little boy just born. My heart was broken and I fell so deep into the sadness. I saw no future, everything was so blur in my vision that time.   Never expected before that I will be a a single parent, I felt life so cruel, unfair and too tough for me but life must go on. I used to take care both of my children while I work as a nurse in a hospital, one of them was just still a baby. Every time I saw their innocent faces, I felt something heavy inside my heart that lighten up my spirit with responsibilities for their better future, something that I and my late husband discussed about and really wanted. Children shouldn't know hard times and suffers,    I decided to continue my husband business with Novica, thanks to God, I had learned it little bit before from my late husband, so I can manage the carvers and also monitor the production so the quality will still good as my husband's. I also joined Novica as myself for wood carving collection, they are selling good, I'm so glad and proud so many people in the world like my products, it can really happen because Novica has been helping me through its online marketing. Today the income from Novica is even keep increasing until 75% if compared to the income of my husband's from novica before. I can't believe I passed the dark-cloudy times and now I can focus on my children future, provide them better education and life.   I believe because I have been helped by the God's hands and supported by all my friends, I can keep working hard so I can feed my children, pay their school fees and also saving for their better future. The income I got from Novica customer also getting better and better, it's been a great help for us and now we slowly can start to do home improvement too for more appropriate house that health for my children. Until now, I've been working as a nurse in a hospital while also keep this business of my husband growing.   I love the tranquility environment during night, it's the best time to evaluate my self, what I did today and also the business growing. Keep trying any potential and possibilities, we'll never know the result if we never try. I really like wood sculptures, now I start to get involve myself in the production and also the designs, inspired by the current trend and combine it with Balinese cultures. The production it self is helped by 3 men and 3 women, they are wood carvers that work with manual tools for me according their skills and talents.
