This is the mask we brought back -- it's over 4 feet tall. We like the way it goes with our other African masks, which I wrote about here: About the New Masks and Our African Masks
The name of the artist is Lawrence Deligny, and other works of his are on display at Anse Chastenet where we stayed.

Hi Mae, do you know who carved it? I live here, work in the arts and would very much like to know...
The name of the carver is Lawrence Deligny, and he works mainly for Anse Chastanet. Many of his beautiful carvings are in the restaurants and bars at Anse Chastanet. I especially like "Sampson and Delilah" in the upper bar.
Ahhh, yes, know him well 'Uptight' he's a great artist - thanks! And lovely photos of your trip :-)
To Finola -- Did you see the photos of the Soufriere market at my food blog, maefood.blogspot.com ...?
Beautiful mask....we are searching for a local artist here to help us decorate our new location in Piaye, Skeeterz Rum Bar Grill, and will check him out.
Thanks for the article!
Steve
Thanks for writing, Steve. Your blog description of your cheeseburger bar sounds like a great idea. I can't work out how far it is from Anse Chastanet where we stayed in December. I do love St.Lucia and wish you good luck with decorating your bar... mae
I'm looking down your carving posts, and I loved them all but this one speaks to me -- the long, elegant line, the warm wood. Beautiful.
I have a Canawi that I bought in '94 and have yet to use for cooking - but I need some help. Can anyone connect with a person who can instruct me on how to prep and cook in it?
