Put It Together - Limited Edition 1 of 10 Artwork

I was born in north London in 1970 to West Indian parents originally from St Kitts. My grandmother was one of the first black female bus conductress’ on the London buses. She felt it was important that her grandchildren had all the opportunities she never did. She took us all to every gallery and museum in London and supplied us with Red Bus Rovers during the holidays so that we could continue our own explorations. This definitely had a direct impact on my creativity. Drawing was a form of escapism as I was bought up in an oppressive religious cult that prohibited virtually every other activity. At the age of seven I made the decision to be a an ‘artist’. Nine years later I began the journey.
