Been awhile since I posted some work. Here is my piece “Free We Earthen Spirit” that was recently shown at The Central Bank Crop Over Exhibition - Our Land at Queen’s Park. Always excited to exhibit at Queen’s Park.

I really enjoyed working with my son on this Pan Sculpture Project. We had a blast… not to mention our fair share of disagreements and challenges but that is part of the creative process. In the end it was worth it. We both learned a lot. I would like to thank @thencfbarbados for giving me the opportunity to create with my son Jared.

Been awhile since I posted. It’s because I am grinding… Grinding, hammering, welding, shaping, cutting…..

I have always been fortunate to have strong wise beautiful women in my life that inspire and encourage me. The first is my Mum to whom I will be eternally grateful for her love and support. To all of the other amazing women I say thank you, much love and gratitude.

Made this partial cast a few months ago. Wanted to test the volcanic ash. It took a long time to cure but now it’s really hard. Sculpture using volcanic ash… is on.

Unapologetic is finally finished and making her debut today at the St. George Parish Church. Many thanks to @artistsalliancebds for the opportunity.

The Packing Show for Reflections on Emancipation a

The Packing Show for Reflections on Emancipation and (Post Colonial Society) was launched virtually yesterday. The title of my piece is “She Blood Run Deep”. Oil on canvas, 30” x 30”. I examined the fragmentation of our identity and its effects post emancipation. I was heartened to discover that despite all of the oppression and suffering that continued post emancipation, elements of our identity remained untarnished. She represents all of the strong women, the keepers of our identity I have met and have been inspired by.

Latest video is up. I face my greatest challenge sculpting Unapologetic (COVID-19 Sculpture), making the mould of the head and casting it. It all works out in the end but not before I break a sweat. Link in Bio.

If you’re wondering what happened to the commissioned bust I’m working on for the video series. It’s finished and the videos are ready. I just can’t show them yet because the bust has not been unveiled. Recent bad weather has caused delays. I am happy with the way it turned out and can’t wait to show it to you.

It is truly an honour to have been given the oppor

It is truly an honour to have been given the opportunity to sculpt a cricketing legend. I only claim part of this achievement. Many others worked tirelessly and gave selflessly to make it happen. This statue would not have been possible without guidance from the likes of Desmond Haynes, The RT. Hon. Sir Garfield Sobers and Sir Wes Hall himself.
I thoroughly enjoyed the journey I took creating the statue of Sir Wes. I learned so much from the wonderful stories he shared.
I would like to express heartfelt thanks to the members of the Sir Wes Hall 80th Committee, to the family of Sir Wes Hall and especially to Sir Wes Hall himself for choosing me for such an honour.
I am also grateful to all those not mentioned who supported and inspired me.

Some clips from my next video. I discuss my COVID-19 Sculpture with @smalloneka another COVID-19 Technical Assistance Grant recipient in her Norman Centre workspace. I answer questions on what inspires me and the creative process and techniques used among other things.
