Art: "The harmonious expression of one's vision of life" The figure has been my interest, inspiration and focus, which I have continued to study through a strong foundation in drawing.
It was an honour to create this monument which pays tribute to the vision of those Windrush Generation migrants from the Caribbean as they arrived in Britain with their dreams and aspirations, courage and dignity, skills and talents.
Stone carvings in various marbles and alabaster. Less flexible than modeling and inspired by my trip to Guatemala my use of the human figure take a slightly new twist with a more contemporary feel but still emanates from my figure studies in clay.
From February to March 2010 Guatemala hosted the 2nd "Festival of International Sculpture - Guatemala Immortal 2010" 12 Artists were selected from over 360 submissions.
