Stephen Ballard, Founder and director of World Arts, an internet based gallery, created and designed to promote art and artists from around the world. From a life time of loving, enjoying and collecting art it was a culmination of these things and travelling the world that planted the seed that would grow into "World-Arts" as a collector myself and after one particular trip around the South East Asian continent, visiting countries such as; Vietnam, Bali, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, seeing traditional artistic skills passed on from generation to generation, working in all manner of disciplines such as carving, painting and sculpting.
