The Gallery of West Indian Art was founded by Liz deLisser over 40 years ago and has steadily expanded its business of promoting Caribbean artists and Caribbean art ever since. Today, the Gallery has two retail outlets in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and wholesales throughout the entire Caribbean, the United States and Continental Europe.

Liz deLisser, an Englishwoman who moved to Jamaica with her husband in the 1950's. Liz de Lisser runs the gallery with help from two of her three grown daughters. In addition to carvings, de Lisser's is brimming with Caribbean art and paintings by noted Caribbean artists, handmade pottery, tables and chairs.
