My work is largely based on Jamaican landscape in which I try to capture the essence of the subject whether it be the mountains, the sea, or the moon etc. However other subject matter reflecting my concerns about current political or important historical affairs also appear in my work.
For example my last one person exhibition titled "People and Their Stories" focused on the history of slavery and the impact of that history on modern afro american culture.
The piece exhibited in the XI Florence Biennale was about the environmentalist struggle to save the Goat Islands a small group of islands off the south east coast of Jamaica. These Islands form part of the Portland Bight protected by law passed by the Government of Jamaica. In 2014 the islands were proposed as a possible site for a transshipment port to be developed by the Chinese government in the Caribbean. However environmentalists fought against the destruction of this important group of islands and were successful. In 2017 the then Government announced that the islands would no longer be considered as a possible site for building a transshipment port.
The piece titled "Goat Island Suite" was exhibited in the National Gallery of Jamaica Biennale in 2016. That exhibition was reviewed by the Huffington Post Art Critic who described the piece as "gorgeous and poetic...." see full review uploaded on my Facebook page.
