Artist Statement:
I see myself as an
impressionist; I use oil on
canvas as my medium and
utilize a wide range of subtle
colours to create in my
paintings a soft, sensitive
quality. My paintings are a
synthesis of portraits,
landscapes and street scenes
and, although subtle, often
carry a hint of social
commentary. My works can be
found In private collections
locally and abroad.
My philosophy leaves no room
for complacence.
Through my paintings, I intend
to continue to bring vital
features
Of Jamaican life, as I see it,
to the attention of my fellow
Jamaicans,
And the world at large.
As a young man, the artist
that influences me most was
George Rodney.
