"Today we had the privilege to unveil the San Ignacio and Santa Elena Town Mural. Present were, His Worship the Mayor Earl Trapp Jr., Deputy Mayor Mathew Preston along with fellow Councilors and most appreciated the artists, George Landero and Ismael Humes.

 

The picturesque mural depicts the history of our Twin Town from Post Independence to Present Day San Ignacio and Santa Elena. The mural was constructed and painted at a strategical place of entry at the apex of the low-lying bridge beside Saint Ignatius High School in Santa Elena. This was done as part of the SI/SE September Celebration Agenda/Activities."

Under the Shade, I Flourish: The Art Revolution in Belize

Under the Shade, I Flourish: The Art Revolution in Belize | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Interesting article about the art revolution in Belize.  Cayo's Jorge Landero is highlighted.


"Jorge Landero is a painter.  He likes to start working at three or four in the morning, after a cup of milk.  His open-air studio is a concrete floor walled by a hedge of bamboo, and is frequented by his German shepherd, Max, who cannot be deterred from lapping water out of the paint cans...  Now, he paints bright, beautiful canvases that hang in offices, banks, and resorts all over Belize. When Prince Harry visited the country in 2012, a resort owner touched down by helicopter to pick out a gift for him."
