Roatan Art

"Palanca"
Melvin Alexander Bodden
Roatan's Local Wood Carving Artist

Where in Roatan can you find Melvin Bodden?...

You won’t see Melvin in a fancy museum…no, his museum is the great outdoors.  Look for a small house in a grassy field in Sandy Bay decorated with his own paintings!  Just pull up along the road, meet Melvin, have a little chat, and buy a carving for your place.  He is a favorite among island visitors and an award winner in the municipality of Coxen Hole. Roatan wood is his claim to fame!
