Jamaica’s ritzy artists
Several artists and artisans living along the north coast and who are making a living from their art and craft understand this all too well. They include Christopher Gonzalez, Ryan Morrison, Milton Messam and Elgo.
Dean Watson and Charles Campbell are two typical ‘tourist artists’. Specialising in the commodities for the tourist market, both artisans claim tha they repeat their designs by necessity, they strive to be as original as they can get in the craft they produce and unique in the finish of their products.
