Choiseul Art Gallery

About

Choiseul Art Gallery, situated in the vibrant Fishing Village of River Doree, offers a captivating exploration of St. Lucian artistry through its four distinctive departments. Discover the essence of Choiseul in the local souvenirs meticulously crafted by Leo and Hattie Barnard, the gallery's passionate owners. Their creations, fashioned from indigenous materials like coconut, calabash, stones, seeds, and recycled paper, showcase the rich cultural heritage of the region. Hattie, a talented artist, paints her visions in the on-site studio, offering visitors not only prints but also original fine art paintings in various mediums, including oil, watercolor, and acrylic. Delve into her literary work as well, with "The Village by the Sea" and the forthcoming book that beautifully captures the St. Lucian landscape through 53 original paintings accompanied by engaging anecdotes and local stories. Explore the diverse world of St. Lucian craftsmanship at the gallery, featuring local carvings, traditional and modern pottery, and an array of palm crafts such as intricately woven table mats and baskets. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10AM to 4PM.
