Sobre el Artista

I am an Abstract Expressionist painter from the diverse land of Guyana, located in South America, where flora and fauna abound and the land merits the name, "A Naturist Paradise." I am from a family of eleven siblings, whose union in marriage mimics the populace of my mother land - a true, multi-cultural society. I was born on 13th September, in the capital city of Georgetown where one of the worlds' tallest wooden buildings, St. Georges Cathedral, stands. I spent most of my early years in different regions of Guyana, because of the various senior Government positions my Dad held. My first three years was spent in the bauxite mining town of Linden and then in Skeldon, Berbice where rice farms and mills coveted large expanses of the landscape. I attended All Saints primary school and, Berbice High school in the town of New Amsterdam. However, I returned to Georgetown to complete my secondary school education at Queens College; attended the Burrowes School of Art and earned a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Guyana. I completed my degree in 2000, earning a distinction and returned after graduating as a Lecturer in Painting, Graphic Arts, Ceramics and Textile designing. At the University I organised exhibitions, textile designing workshops, and took students on tours, including the Faculty of Creative Arts annual pilgrimage tour to Tougaloo College Art Colony in Mississippi, for workshops and exhibitions. My birth city, Georgetown holds many memories including serving in many Church positions and my participation as a volunteer for Youth Challenge International and Canadian Crossroads International Organizations; and Dorado Speed Swim where I competed regionally and internationally, as well as, worked as an assistant Swim Instructor. I am presently in the United States and just completed an Exhibition at the SMITHVILLE MANSION ANNEX GALLERY in New Jersey. ( Feb 10 to April 30, 2022)
