Art and Craft Show & Tell Post a photo of a piece from your home collection and tell us what it means to you. Anything goes—something your kindergartener made or a piece you purchased from a gallery. This #painting is by distinguished Belizean artist Pen Cayetano. His work often depicts #Garifuna culture. Here, women are shown processing cassava, their staple food. Cayetano is also the inventor or Punta Rock music. It was an honor to meet him and his wife Ingrid on our travels to #Belize.
