About

    I came into my artistic experience as an adult. Because of this,
     I view my artistic abilities as a gift; something special given to me

     from God whom I love; something  to be cherished and nurtured.

    I love nature and all natural forms. I am fascinated by the ocean

     and the beaches in my island home of Trinidad and Tobago and

     seek to share what I am privileged to experience daily with the

     world.

               It is through this fascination, that I'm also drawn, even further, into a    

love relationship with God.

My style is largely Impressionistic.  Although I paint in studio,

I am captivated  by the experience of painting outdoors en plein aire.

I enjoy  experimenting with different  media. I believe

that even as I specialise in my chosen area that i should not limit myself

doggedly to it so I also sculpt and explore pastels and watercolours.  My

desire is to take what I have learnt  and stretch and it to its very

lengths and depths;  as I grow and mature as a professional artist.

    Resume

    Mostly self- taught. I collect art books and read religiously.
