As a new season takes shape on the island, so too does a new one begin for SOSB. As they say, change is the only constant, and in that vein I’d like to introduce you to the latest iteration of your favorite island book. After 10 years of successful publication, Spirit of St. Barth is evolving into a highly artistic ode to our island, and a more personal project for me, as fine art is both my profession and my passion. The inspiration came from a growing art scene that I believe deserves to be highlighted, and although the island’s natural beauty will still be at the forefront, it will now be punctuated by the beautiful works and admirable talents of local artists. My hope is that readers will become well-acquainted with the art community on the island, and as always, will be touched by the dynamic beauty of this place that we all love so much.
