Happy Tuesday! I am Gabrielle Burgess and I am an Artist. My Art is mostly Graphic with a signature use of colour, texture, vintage black and white, and sometimes incorporates a touch of Jamaican. I believe GW Art (Ig: @gwartbygabby) is for everyone.
In 2018 I decided to have the Christmas Connection event under the Suga Lifestyle brand, instead of the GW Art Exhibition, thinking I could curate an experience with more variety of high quality, local products representing the island’s Creative Industries, while contributing to selected Charity Beneficiaries. Most importantly, each vendor would be unique to their own craft or style for maximum profit. GW Art did the best it ever did, almost sold out, and so it began.

Suga Lifestyle, GW Art’s Gabby Burgess with Shermalie Hill at The Jamaica Pegasus, Kingston, Jamaica on September 3, 2024. Suga Lifestyle’s Art & Lifestyle Expo Meet & Greet at AC Hotel Kingston, Jamaica on August 9, 2024
I know these “Tailored Jamaican” Ladies will bring Shermalie Joy everyday.
It was on set Jamaica Stock Exchange’s CBX Channel one morning promoting Suga Lifestyle’s annual Tailored Jamaican Pop-Up Fashion Show event last October, when he first laid eyes on them and kept asking, so when will it be finished?
I kept saying, not yet, when it is you will know. When I saw the locally designed Dress I would be wearing for the Art & Lifestyle Expo Meet & Greet in August, I instantly fell in love with all the colours that complemented each other. I said, that is it! GW Art’s “Tailored Jamaican” Ladies will be complemented by those colours too and they will stand by me whenever I speak. The Painting was showcased at my GW Art (Ig: @gwartbygabby) booth the next day at the Expo, making quite a statement in AC Hotel Kingston’s Ballroom. When Shermalie saw it, he smiled and said, you finally finished it and it didn’t take too long for him to tell ke he was ready to start his Collection with local Art.
When you Invest in Local Art, you Invest in Jamaica.

Location: The Jamaica Pegasus, Kingston, Jamaica ‘Releve on Key’ by GW Art (Framing by Frame Art Jamaica Ltd.); Location: The Liguanea Club, Kingston, Jamaica
It warms our heart as Artists when buyers see pieces they immediately relate to and are ready to claim as theirs with no hesitation.
Ambrose visited The Liguanea Club to see where they filmed The James Bond Movie, “Dr. No” and sighted GW Art. He instantly thought of his Mom who is a Piano teacher, messaged GW Art and was ready to take a piece of Brand Jamaica back with him to the UK.
