My Story
I was born and raised in Barbados, a very beautiful and tiny island in the Caribbean. My childhood home was like a life-sized sketch book where I could experiment freely. As a child I doodled flowers on my bedsheets, painted a mural on my bedroom door and rearranged my parents’ home decor - often in the middle of the night when the itch for creativity struck! My parents always encouraged my creativity.
From that young age I was aware that my environment had a direct impact on mood and behaviour.
I completed a Bachelors Degree of Fine Art Painting at Wimbledon School of Art in London, UK. After this I returned to Barbados to teach Painting at Barbados Community College. During this time I maintained my studio practice including solo and group art exhibitions in Barbados and internationally. But life, as it often does, led me on a new path so I put my art career to rest and moved to Toronto, Canada with my husband to start our family.
Becoming a mother has been the more rewarding and challenging thing I've ever done, and I am eternally grateful for the way it has shaped me. Thank you boys.
Now, after a decade of quiet reflection and personal unraveling, I am emerging with a heart and soul renewed. Once called a “grave yard of paintings” my studio is now flourishing with life! I am eternally grateful for the lessons of surrender, faith and hope that I have learnt here.
My passion now is to help others see the beauty that surrounds them, to inspire a quiet, heartfelt gratitude that can be expressed in their own way.
This is my journey—one of renewal, surrender, and an ever-deepening love for the art that has shaped my life.
