The work of up-and-coming artist Iain MacRae explores many thought-provoking issues such as politics and self-identity.

He describes his art as expressive, but avoids being restricted to a certain style.

“It’s my way of voicing thoughts that are hard to put into words,” he says, “Lately, my pieces have been pretty politically charged because there’s just so much going on that needs to be talked about.”

“It was very dated, very generic, a typical developer townhouse,” she remembers. “The previous owner had painted it every shade of brown and beige, and hadn’t changed a thing in 20 years – but the space was good. It’s large for a two-bed townhouse and I could see the potential.”

Settling in at Sailfish Quay

When Robert and Anna Woods made plans to renovate their previous house in Savannah, they had no idea they could build their dream home in their dream location instead.

But that is exactly what happened when a friend pointed out that rather than spending money on a remodel, they could purchase a lot and have a property built to their exact specifications.

Refillable products on the rise

Designed to reduce single-use plastic consumption, a refillery offers the option of reusing and refilling containers with household and personal care products again and again – saving plastics and packaging from ending up in the landfill.

Since retiring last year, Danielle Wolfe has had greater opportunity to pursue her passion for pottery. And now that she has more time, and more pottery, she has begun selling her work.

“Only recently have I started to sell my products; it is a by-product of my love of making pottery,” she says. “My friends probably don’t want any more pottery birthday/Christmas gifts, hence I am so happy when I find a new home for my pieces.”...

It can’t get much fresher than being sourced on the farm and then turned into authentic, artisan food in a stand-alone kitchen right there on the ground on which the produce is grown.

And that is exactly what Chef Sara Mair-Doak and farmer Patrick Panton are collaborating to do, elevating Cayman’s produce to tempt the tastebuds while looking after the environment at the same time.

Chef Sara Mair-Doak and farmer Patrick Panton join forces on a food venture.
