All For What? Painting

I grew up drawing and painting my “little masterpieces” for sale to my auntie’s trusted friend and classmate who welcomed my creativity and rewarded me handsomely for each piece. At the time I did not know that he, 'Roger Alleyne' was a cultural icon and sculptor within the Visual Arts Community. I was five. Now, looking back he was molding me, enticing me even, to become the creative individual I am today! By the time I was a teenager there wasn’t a piece of textile I didn’t leave my mark on, with my messages of truth and thrusts of romanticism. But as time passed on my pursuits grew, this lead me into the world of business and throughout my early twenties I would later rediscover my creative attributes and pursue architectural design to become an interior designer. The walls have been my canvas for many years and now finally once again, the canvas.
