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. I put my art career to rest and moved to Toronto, Canada with my husband to start our family.

I’m now emerging out of a dark decade with my art. After a lot of unraveling I’ve learnt to be gentle with myself. 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 is to inspire others to recognize the beauty surrounding them and express gratitude in their own way.

Thanks for visiting!
