About The Artwork
In the old colonial days of the Caribbean, many boats took on similar names to the most famous ships in history. This Warsprite was so named with a slight difference of adding an 'r' between the 'p' and the 'i'. I am not sure if this was because of copyright issues which I don't think was so important back in the 1960s and 1970s. Warsprite was likely built as an ode to the HMS Warspite, which was a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship built for the Royal Navy during the early 1910s. In any case, this 'Warsprite' was an inter-island schooner from Grenada which regularly docked at the Port of Spain harbour in Trinidad and Tobago.

Trinidad and Tobago
Born in 1933, I am a renowned artist of Trinidad & Tobago whose works have been included in the National Museum and Art Gallery of Trinidad & Tobago since the 1980s. I traveled to England in the 1950s as part of the hopeful #Windrush Generation. I found that life in London was not for me. I missed my hobbies as an open air painter who painted while exploring the rain forests, villages and communities of my island, Trinidad. I also avidly did spear fishing during deep dives and hunted during the relevant seasons. My life among the poor classes of my island, coming out of colonialism, was inspiration to me to continue to record the culture of our Caribbean island.
