The Story Behind the Art

This metal gecko is created by artisans from Caribbean Craft, a Fair Trade organization in Haiti that empowers local artists through sustainable employment. Using discarded steel drums, the artisans clean, flatten, and shape the metal by hand, then bring each design to life with vibrant hand-painting inspired by local culture. Caribbean Craft is known for providing training and opportunity, especially for unskilled workers, and creating access to international markets for Haitian artists.
