Where It Began

Where It Began

Every story has a beginning.

Inspired by one of Cayman’s earliest traditional homes, this illustration looks back to a time before colourful cottages, busy roads, and modern skylines. Built using natural materials and whatever resources were close at hand, these humble homes tell the story of resilience, ingenuity, and the foundations of island life.

Created with delicate ink work and visible sketch lines, this piece celebrates not only Cayman’s architectural heritage but also the creative process itself—where every pencil mark becomes part of the finished story.
