Black Artist Bios / Keith Stafford

"A foster parent of 14 children who wants Black children to know there is a place for them in Heaven."

Keith Stafford has led an exciting career as an artist. His Angels of Inspiration figurine collection is a culmination of his devotion to creating a positive and inspirational environment for children. As a father and foster parent of 14 children, Keith Stafford’s devotion to this subject is quite understandable. 

When a little boy asked the question, “When I go to heaven will I be a white angel?” Keith was inspired work to develop the Angels of Inspiration® Collection.

Creating Stafford’s Ethnic Collectibles with his wife Shereen, Keith is proud to have a permanent outlet for expressing his vision of peace, love and unity for all humankind.

Keith Stafford’s career as an artist has included live appearances as Kente Claus®, performing with the 1970s recording group the Delfonics, and as a contributor to the traveling African Arts exhibition, Wrapped in Glory. Included with our Angels of Inspiration collection is a new Kente Claus® figurine originally designed by Thomas Blackshear.
