I was born in Trinidad and lived there for the first thirty yeas of my life. I always had a great passion for art but never had the opportunity to pursue this passion until moving to Denmark in 1981. I began experimenting in oils and painted in this medium until migrating to Florida in 1988. Living in Florida gave me the opportunity to return to Trinidad and the other Caribbean islands on a more frequent basis.
