We first encountered Erwin Chan's art eating a tasty shrimp Chow mein dish at Little Creek restaurant in Santa Elena, Cayo District, Belize. It was in the form of a collaborative lush tropical mural created with Jorge Landero to cover 2 major walls in the restaurant.

On a flight from Belize City to Arizona in April 2025 we sat next to a young Belizean woman who asked, since a passion for the arts is our profession, if we knew “Griffith - the Artist.” She showed us his phenomenal art on Instagram and mentioned that he had a gallery in Belize City.

Some time after visiting San Ignacio, in the Cayo District, Belize in April 2025 a social media post came up for Reyna Gallery featuring artist Fernando Reyna.
