Introduction

Gilly Gobinet Art Gallery, nestled in Antigua and Barbuda, welcomes visitors to discover a vivid celebration of Caribbean inspiration through the vision of Antiguan artist Gilly Gobinet. Set within a charming and secluded seafront property in Fitches Creek, just north of the historic Protestant church of St. George, the gallery offers a joyful and serene space for art lovers and curious travelers alike. Whether you are a returning guest or a first-time visitor, you can expect an intimate and uplifting encounter with art deeply rooted in island life and natural beauty.

About the Museum

Situated in Gilly Gobinet’s own waterfront home, the gallery provides an informal yet immersive environment, allowing visitors to experience her artwork in a personal and welcoming setting. The location is easy to find, with clear signposts from Piggotts Village, and lies near the renowned St. George’s Church on St. George Drive.

The gallery is open Monday through Friday from nine o’clock in the morning until one o’clock in the afternoon. Appointments outside of these hours are available by contacting Gilly via email or WhatsApp Gilly Gobinet Art+1.

Gilly Gobinet’s artistry spans both acrylic and watercolour mediums, crafting pieces that are at once figurative and abstract. Her work draws deeply on the vivid environment of Antigua—its sparkling sea, lush flora, vibrant marine life, and elegant classic yachts inspired by her love of sailing. Visitors will find paintings across several thematic categories, showcasing her creative range:

Nature Inspired, featuring tropical plants, birds, and the island’s unique wildlife.
Marine Life, highlighting pelicans, turtles, seahorses, tropical fish, and classic boats—large and small.
Home & Heart, capturing local West Indian architecture, cherished objects, and charming scenes from everyday life.
Big & Bold, presenting dramatic, statement-sized acrylics on canvas that command attention in any space.
The Long View, offering elongated vertical or horizontal pieces ideal for narrow wall spaces, inspired by both real and imagined subjects.

Visitors may also admire the artist’s two small format books, Caribbean Cookery and Caribbean Cocktails—both written and illustrated by Gilly Gobinet, available for purchase at the gallery and priced at ten US dollars each.
