There can be little doubt that one reason we went for Jallim’s art was because of the gallery’s saleswoman. Melinda explained the intimate tie between his carving and St. Lucia culture. Already taken with the island, we were pleased to find a work of art that would do more than remind us of pretty scenery, but also the heart of St. Lucia’s people. In the video following the break, you can hear Melinda explain this art for yourself.
