Photos: Pink & Chameau’s “Au Natural” Art Show

Artists Ronnie Chameau and Donna Pink recently hosted an exhibit called “Au Natural” at the Bermuda Arts Centre, with Ms. Chameau saying of her pieces on display that “most of them sold.”

Both of the artists’ works were created with only natural materials, including banana leaves, palm fronds, palmetto leaves, bay grape leaves, and magnolia pods.

Ms. Pink’s works included several forms of jewelry and neck pieces, while Ms. Chameau’s works focused on holiday-themed creations.

Ms. Chameau’s “The Nativity” is crafted from a palm frond used for the back, while the base is Bermuda cedar. Mary and Joseph are crafted from banana and palm leave, their heads are nuts, the halo is a Norfolk pine leaf, and baby Jesus is laying in a coconut seed.
