Great little shop packed full of items from local talent. Ordered custome made bracelets to take home for family and Melody had them made by the end of the week. Hand carved slate was beautiful and had to bring several tropical fishes Hine for my daughter and her family as a gift. Met the young local artist who was on site and only 17 years of age. Great talent for such a small shop packed full of treasures.
My wife and I go to San Pedro on an annual basis and we purchased our first things from Melody in 2009 or so. I went in to her gallery to ask her to paint some coconuts for me and the next thing that I knew, I needed to buy a 4 x 4 painting from her. The picture is the painting and we proudly display it in our house in one of the guest rooms. Melody is incredibly talented and her gallery is full of many more things than paintings - my wife purchased jewelry and ornaments during our trip last month. If you travel to San Pedro, finding Melody's gallery is worth your time as you'll be happy to meet this very talented young lady.
I had read such good reviews about this place that I made it a point to visit while in San Pedro. It is a very nice place with wonderful local art. Melody is very friendly and knowledgable.
This art gallery is a true gem that you should definitely stop by while you are in town. So many great pieces by different local artists. Melody, is a native Ambergris Caye artist, and she and her staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I bought a painting by local artist Amy Oldham that my family will cherish for many years, and it will always remind me of one of my favorite vacations. There is a good selection of different types of art, and also handmade jewelry that is very reasonable priced. I loved the vibrant colors in the painting I bought and many of the other works in the gallery. I bought a fish motif bracelet for my preschooler that was actually less than a necklace I picked up for her at the airport. If buying a piece of art to take a little of your vacation home is your thing, definitely stop in this gallery! If you like this painting, contact Melody Sanchez Wolfe about more by this artist. https://www.facebook.com/belizeanmelodyartgallery
Great little shop with locally made art items! I purchased a handmade Christmas ornament and the owner even offered to personalize it for us! I highly recommend this place :)
Brilliant but not cheap. Some great local work by 100 different craft persons. Need to add tax to cost shown.
Everyone should at least try a day painting with Melody. I tried it 3 times during my 4 week stay on the island and everyone was a lot of fun. Each time I spent it with great friends and found out that even I can paint . Just go by Melody's shop and find out her schedule, she even has painting party's on the beach. It is a special treat that you can take home to show all you friends and you did it. So tell you friends and have a great time with a very special young lady.Patty McNattYorba Linda, California
We did a painting party with Melody yesterday. It was so fun! You don't have to be an artist, she helps you through the whole thing. What a great souvenir from Belize! Your own Belizean art that you painted yourself! If you don't have time to do a painting party definitely stop by to shop for some beautiful original artwork done by local artists.
Such a cute shop w all kinds of interesting things, made me feel good to support the locals too. The artist that owns it has lots of different artists in her gallery
I liked the diversity of items and the prices were very reasonable. They had items that were from various regions.
