FULL SERVICE INTERIOR DECORATING From the beginning of the process where I work closely with you to create a room(s) that meets your desires, taste, and lifestyle, to the final physical hands-on of putting the room together, I will address the finest of details with the utmost attention to quality, timeliness, and value.

“ONE DAY ROOM MAKEOVER” I use your existing furnishings to give you a new room in a day. Your furniture will be placed in the most attractive arrangement for the space. Art will be re-hung and accessories placed to complete the finishing touch.

Stephanie Tihanyi

Stephanie Tihanyi lives in Grand Case and is an artist who also blogs (yay for blogs!) I swiped a picture of one painting from her blog for you to see:

Antoine Chapon

Antoine Chapon
Les Terrasses de Cul-De-Sac #1
97150 Saint Martin - French West Indies
Tel.: + 590 590 87 40 87
Fax: + 590 590 87 41 87

If you have been to the island and toured any of the galleries in Marigot, you have seen Mr. Chapon's work. Often done with watercolors, his island images are quite distinctive.

Francis Eck

If I had the chance to buy one painting by an artist who is living and working on this island, it would be one of Mr. Eck's paintings, no question.

This painting was on display at Le Chanteclair when we went there at the end of July, as well as several other paintings of his. Mr. Eck also has a website, and a studio in Concordia which a person is able to visit by appointment +590.87.12.32

Artlovers

When I first came to SXM in 1997, I felt like the only place I could see any artwork was at Greenwith Galleries in Philipsburg (now closed I think), one of the galleries in Marigot which basically carried the same artists, or the Minguet gallery which mostly carried the work of Alexandre Minguet. I went to those periodically but always wanted to see new things.

Eventually I found this website, Artlovers-SXM, which I think is fantastic. It is not representative of every artist on the island but it does have a range!
