Louisville, KY) – After surviving a stroke that left her with physical and cognitive impairments and several years of rehabilitative therapy, Yolanda Morris embarked on a journey to redefine her world. In June 2005, she launched a new world, one that embraced diversity, captured beauty and transcended the barriers of her world. She created a world of distinction. WorldofDistinction.com is a virtual shopping site. The worldwide website provides mainstream consumers with handmade art created by native artisans around the world—from quality African mask reproductions to original vases and paintings. The average consumer is able to embark on the distinctive path of collecting native art and craft at affordable prices while gradually paving the way to investment grade pieces. Shoppers can also “travel the world” through the site’s Links to the World Page. This informative section provides new collectors with relevant links to world art, cultural and history. The new website, described by visitors as "a wonderful site”, provides customers, among other things, the opportunity to vote on or suggest different art of interest. The site’s newsletter, Making a World of Difference, provides product information, discounts and offers.
"The site focuses enhancing cultural diversity by through interest and education of world cultures through their art. It is a start up site with future enhancements in the works”, says owner, Yolanda Morris. The website targets mainstream consumers who are beginning collectors interested in acquiring affordable native art. The site allows visitors to purchase, learn about and suggest native art collectibles. Unlike other virtual art shops, World of Distinction focuses on promoting diversity through acquisition, exposure and awareness of native art. Frequent updates to site content and links provide invaluable information to the beginning native art consumer.
