"Legends of Belize" is a series of 10 paintings, 11 graphic art logos and 10 brief descriptions, which interpret Belizean mythological creatures and document ancient beliefs that have taught, scared, and intrigued people for many generations.

  Known professionally as GrissyG and Dismas, the couple was born in Corozal town, Belize, Central America, but did not meet until 1999 in art class while earning their Associates Degree at Los Angeles Mission College (LAMC) in Sylmar, California.

  In Painting 305 taught by Barbara Kerwin, studio arts chairwoman at LAMC, GrissyG and Dismas created the series titled "Legends of Belize".

  Developing "Legends of Belize," information was compiled from childhood tales, interviews with native Belizeans, books and internet research. The series also includes visual clues and iconography that represent Belizean culture.
