Currently, as an artist, I practice a couple forms:
Painting
Sculpture
Sewing
Right now I'm still in school and I'm still learning about techniques and different art forms. The purpose of this page is not only to showcase my work, but to get feedback on how to improve my work and myself as an artist.

"Mural in Scarborough, Tobago"
2008
Medium: Wall Paint
We went on holiday last year for the August holidays (a.k.a. Summer for all you four season folks) and my mom decided to refresh the part of a mural that she and my dad painted. My dad died when I was four years old so my sister, my brother and I refreshed his part and my mom did hers. The hummingbird is the part she did and the other part was what my dad did and my siblings and I fixed up.
What my dad painted was a collection of things that he liked. All we really did was fix up what he did, so really, it's a painting my dad did. I'll start from the left. The largest figure is a painting of Shadow, his favourite calypsonian. Shadow is also the man in the hat with a beard. He was also into mythology, hence the dragon and people fighting it. I figure the rest pretty self explanatory, but if you have any questions feel free to ask about it.
I've also got only a couple pics up right now, but I'll be adding some more soon.
