Our Story

The painting "Until We See You Again" carries a deeply personal message for the artist, Merle-Marie. Having experienced the profound loss of her younger sister Hannah-Sophia at the tender age of 18, Merle-Marie understands the heartache of losing a loved one. This work is a tribute to that pain, but also a celebration of love and connection, conveying the belief that our loved ones are always smiling down on us from above.

The inspiration behind this piece is rooted in the story of Charlotte, a dedicated nanny who became entwined in the lives of two young boys, Jake and Joe, after a tragic event that changed their lives forever. In May 2014, their father drowned while heroically saving Jake from a riptide in Treasure Beach, Jamaica. The community mourned the loss of a dear friend, leaving the boys without their father.

Charlotte joined their family in August 2014 and became an integral part of their healing journey. She taught Jake to swim and witnessed how the ocean, once a source of grief, began to restore their joy. During her visits to Treasure Beach, she recognized a dire need for swimming education in the community, as many children lacked the skills to safely navigate the waters surrounding them.

In 2017, Charlotte co-founded the Likkle Swimmers Organisation to provide swimming lessons and safety training. Since then, they have empowered over 700 children and adults with vital swimming skills, helping to prevent future tragedies.

Let this artwork resonate with your soul and inspire you to celebrate the love that transcends time and space.​
