A talented, energetic, philosophical Jamaican Artist.
My love for art is a natural
phenomenon
that flows
like the spring from the aqueduct
of this Tropical Island.
Born a gifted child
my potential was undoubtably this,
as resonate
with my peers whom religiously look
toward me
to draw the next
super hero, cartoon,
comic, class project ........
All this time
subconsciously
my young creative mind was
being
stimulated
but it wasn't until after high school
in my quest to fulfill my childhood dream
of becoming an engineer,
during this search it dawned
on me that my greater inclination
was Visual Arts
hence" The Dream" was born

Formal Education
As a proud son of St Elizabeth, I was educated at the Thomton Primary School, the Maggotty High School. Then St. George's Extension. I finally took the dream to the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts.

Source of Insiration
My inspiration came from the people and our rich diversity that forms the core of my identity, hence the social and cultural aspects of Jamaican life style is strongly represented in my works. I am drawn to the
market place because of its vibrancy, cultural practices and real life drama that unfolds daily, with its tropical fruits and vegetable and the warmth of the people that trade there. The market environment is an awesome source of inspiration for me.
