Today Cindy stopped by our NIM Things booth at the Brac Ag Show and wanted to learn how to plait, our owner Starrie Scott was more than willing to help. You too can have this experience just drop into our store in Spot Bay. Schedule classes coming soon once our royal poinciana tree in the shop’s front yard offers shade again.
Do you know how to do the Caymanian traditional thatch plaiting? Who taught you?



Disclaimer we do not own the rights to the music playing it was a band on stage at the Ag Show.

It was a pleasure for us, Starrie and Tenson to host the Brac bus tour at our store NIM Things / SimoneS Art Gallery for Cayman Art Week 2025.

❤️ Love this digital artwork by NIM Thing’s owners daughter Simone Scott. Do you know Simone opened her Art Gallery in 1994 in one the side rooms at NIM Things (which opened in 1986).

Started this digital artwork on Monday while painting at an impromptu meet up with fellow Cayman Brac Artists Meets group, Ms Alison and Ms Melissa .hess. Yesterday, I finished this piece depicting NIM Things and the bluff in the background.

Lovely to have had this group visit with us this Tuesday.

ICCI Culture Seminar 2024
Thank you Ms Melisa for bringing all your beautiful students to the Brac. It was a pleasure to talk to each of you as I sketched each individual in my gallery which currently doubles as our NPO office at NIM Things building. I then compiled those portraits into this collage.

Can’t thank Mr Sheldon enough for opening up and closing Captains Retreat so I could give the seminar class a tour for the owner Ms

Also my parents who entertained in NIM Things front yard under the Royal poinciana tree while the drawings took place inside. Starrie showed them how to make a Notch thatch bookmarker and of course my dad talked their ears off. One after the other as they came in said how much they were enjoying their trip.

Hike up Peter's Lookout top of Peter's Cave trail. My Aunt and family climb the trail up the bluff to meet me. I had drove to the top to meet them, in order to take them to the Lighthouse. While waiting I did the drawing of the background of this digital piece on my phone with my finger. I then preceded to colour it why my Aunt and dem went take lighthouse pictures. My Aunt insisted I add them in even if just "stick figures". Of course that wouldn't do so imported it to my iPad and drew them in. Her grandson, the young blond 12 year old with the go pro on his wrist was so excited to go to the lighthouse. lol The lighthouse beacon did not live up to the hype plus salt spray from the hurricane that passed south of us had burnt up the vegetation bush on the edge but the bluff edge view, that view sure did live up to the hype.

Do you know my gallery SimoneS Art Gallery is located in NIM Things, Spot Bay, Cayman Brac? Yep since 1994 when I cleaned out the east storage room of NIM Things and created my studio gallery. However I also have a website where you can buy print on demand prints of my unique artwork inspired by the Brac. You get a link to the image via email so you can print at home or at a printing store where you live. Saves the trouble of you traveling with artwork, or getting it postal mail. Another advantage is you can get it printed on whatever material you want be it canvas, metal or paper and up to approx 16x20in. If you want it bigger please contact me through the website and I’ll work with you to increase resolution of the printable image. Happy shopping.

Inspired by her home the Cayman Islands especially the Brac, artist Simone Scott continues to capture it all. Download your own print or invest in an creative original painting.
