I watched in disbelief last summer (2017) when there were actual race riots throughout America. I decided to do a bit of research regarding the division of races and found QUITE a few headlines from National Newspapers from quite awhile back up to now. I just HAD to put my feelings on canvas. So I took a variety of newspaper headlines, from from racial hatred, to attempts at racial unification and harmony. There were photos with captions of "whites finding food in hurricane damaged food stores," to "blacks looting" food stores. With BOTH images each showing a person (one white and then one black,) wading through a river with food on an inner tube. One has to wonder HOW the reporters knew WHO had "found" and who had "looted" the stores...? But there were also headlines on the ending of segregation, and Obama winning the American Presidency. I finished the piece with the title done in Chenille lettering, the kind found on the "athletic sweaters" of most high schools and colleges...

Being born in Nassau Bahamas, I incorporate its of color and movement in my art. As a child was entranced by the brilliant turquoise seas and white powder sands. The Bahamas is filled with intense Yellow Elders, our National flower, pink flamingos, intensely colored poinciana trees, purple bougainvillea. and crimson Hibiscus Flowers. My favorite time of the year is always Christmas and The New Year's holidays because of the whirling parades of our National Junkanoo Festival. I recall the bright colorful costumes made of fringed crepe paper, undulating in the streets to the beat of the goat skin drums, and metal cowbells and bellowing horns. Although I now reside in The U.S. those memorable flashes of color and movement constantly invade my art as abstract representations of the home that I will always love. I like to use splashes of pure acrylic colors along with objects that enhance and intensify my message. Also, I have been an avid photographer and lately started combing the two disciplines. I hold degrees in both Fine Art and Photography, and have won several awards, including "Best of Show" My work as been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, and California, Miami, Budapest Hungry, and The Bahamas.
