Atlantis Hotel. The Atlantis Hotel opens the wonderful world of Margaret Rodriguez through her colourful watercolours. During August the historic Atlantis Hotel, on the wind-swept east coast,
exhibits the various imaginings of Margaret’s Bajan view. The proud colours of the chattel house; the nostalgic views of time passed; our cricket heritage and the beauty of our tropical flowers, all given that special Rodriguez touch to bring them to life. Margaret Rodriguez, a Trinidadian by birth but Bajan in her heart, moved to Barbados in 1986, and began her painting career in 1994 when she joined a painting group for relaxation and de-stressing. Ten years later she has become one of Barbados’ better known watercolour artists. Though her art is present in many of the Art Galleries, Margaret has not exhibited in quite a while, making this Atlantis Exhibit a unique experience not to be missed. To view a selection of the paintings hanging at The Atlantis Hotel as well as other artwork, check out Margaret’s website http://www.margaretrodriguez.com/ Established in 1884, The Atlantis Hotel http://www.atlantisbarbados.com/ stands at the edge of Tent Bay, facing the Atlantic Ocean in St Joseph, one of the most photographed views of Barbados. This Hotel is a Barbadian institution, famous for its ABC’s – All Bajan Cuisine, and in particular their legendary Sunday and Wednesday lunch.Bagnall's Point Gallery.
