Jamaica Observer - My Kingston Feature Article Published on January 19, 2020

What are your earliest and fondest childhood memory?

I was born in Port Antonio and love the simplicity of life from that time, a life without pretense where people cared for each other for no particular reason in an atmosphere of unspoilt nature where we could interact and appreciate people, places & things without fear. 

What’s your artistic thrust for 2020?

To create new looks in many forms with an emphasis on textures, shapes and stories and colour will have its time & place. Imagery that reminds us to appreciate people, places and things without borders. 

For those of still getting used to the cacophony of colour in your work, how do we balance and or appreciate black and white vs colour?

I like to use my Black & White to immerse viewers into a fantasy world from a past time and colour as a world in the present and future.
