A Trinidadian Artist
I have been creating since my childhood. For the last ten (10) years I have been painting every day. I devote my spare time to art, painting and traveling. I do work part time as an elementary teacher. This has its part in my life for I appreciate the social contact it gives me with the rest of the world. I would find it quite isolating to paint full time with limited social contact. I am a people person.

I have been creating since my childhood. For the last ten (10) years I have been painting every day. I devote my spare time to art, painting and traveling. I do work part time as an elementary teacher. This has its part in my life for I appreciate the social contact it gives me with the rest of the world. I would find it quite isolating to paint full time with limited social contact. I am a people person.
I particularly enjoy painting Caribbean landscapes so each time I begin one there is the excitement and challenge of capturing the mood. The Caribbean landscape is a great motivator for me. The bright colours, the vibrant music etc… The driving force for my painting is primarily that it has a very calming effect on my rather restless personality. I am primarily inspired, by the impressionists. I admire the vibrant paintings that they were able to create.
My artistic goals are pretty simple - just to keep going!! I just want to keep painting, learning and exploring my trade and making a living as an artist. I'd like to do more portraits and some larger pieces. I mostly paint with watercolours, pastels and oils. Recently though I especially enjoy painting large oils and so am looking to explore that more. [
