Tucked into the hills of Bathsheba is the working studio of John Mayers, who creates lovely batik works, primarily depicting island life and folklore. Working out of her Retreat House home, Frances Ross fashions lovely little carvings of monkeys, turtles and various types of foliage. She is also a painter and her watercolours again reflect nature in some way. This commercial gallery contains a collection of original works by many of the top local artists. It also has a good selection of regional works.
Styles range from realistic to abstract and all types of media are represented.
The gallery also carries selection of prints to compliment their extensive fine art collection. Each Sandbox creation is exclusively handpainted with original designs. Sandbox also offers a wide range of hats, cushions, tablecloths, placemats, lampshades, wall-hangings, tablerunners and tea towels. Mango Jam's focus is on things tropical, from flowers and fruits to more festive subjects, and her hand-painted items include women s and children s apparel as well as soft home furnishings.
