I have been an art teacher for more than 28years during
this time I have exhibited as a student and a teacher alongside my students. It
is very difficult to produce art pieces for your own pleasure and expression
when you are continuously correcting and guiding students. However I made a
conscious decision a few years ago to produce at least 2 or 3 art pieces per
year for myself as well as practicing in the field will make me a better
teacher.

Although I live and work in the city I am happiest near
the ocean. My childhood vacations were always spent by the sea. I have an affinity
with the ocean which goes back to my ancestors; I learnt to swim before I
learnt to walk. This trait was passed on to my children who will still declare
that a holiday is not overseas travel but a couple days spent by the beach on
the North East coast of Trinidad.

My favorite subject matter is water, its translucent
nature and the effect of light on water has always influenced me to paint it.
My favored mediums are acrylics and chalk pastels. This year’s paintings are
from the North coast, Gran Riviere and North East coast, Balandra. They are currently on exhibit at the Trinidad
and Tobago Art Society annual exhibition in Federation Park. This exhibition
runs until 20th November, it is an exhibition of the creativity of
T&T artists featuring well over 170 pieces of work, a worth while visit.
