Gilly Gobinet is one of the Caribbean’s most dedicated artists. And we are particularly proud to exhibit her delicate water color paintings in our spring and summer exhibition.

Originally from England, Gilly lived in France before settling in Antigua in1984. It is Antigua, she says, that gave her the opportunity to fulfill her life-long dream of becoming an artist.

Gilly has gained widespread international recognition for her work and won several awards for her paintings including the prestigious Antiguan Art Society’s Annual Awards and the Supreme Award for Excellence in the Islands Arts Quest Competition. There have been also highly successful one-man shows in Caracas, Venezuela, Anguilla, St. Lucia, Antigua and group shows in Guadeloupe, Anguilla and Santo Domingo. She also puts on a very successful annual exhibition at the Venezuelan Institute for Culture in Antigua.

The subjects of her paintings are typically Caribbean, ranging from small gingerbread houses, lush tropical forests, beautiful floral abstracts and colorful marine life.

Gilly’s paintings have found homes all over the world in private houses, embassies, executive offices and have been commissioned to decorate rooms in exclusive resorts and banks.
