Since childhood, I have enjoyed painting my view of the world. There are these perfect moments in time, which I seek to capture on canvas, though painting the true essence of nature itself is an impossibility. My work is a reflection of nature and the universe as I perceive it. I dream of viewers being able to walk into each painting and experiencing that time and place with me. Painting is my true love and traveling to see new faces and fresh lands is a favorite pastime. These two passions have led me to appreciate nature and the wildly varied landscapes it creates on this world, allowing my emotions free reign of expression in communicating my vision.

I am currently living on Cape Cod Massachusetts.  Cape Cod has lots of wonderful landscape  and seascape. Painting here is a joy for any one who likes to paint nature. I have been painting since I was old enough to play with crayons Then it wasn't painting it was playing with crayons. As I grew older I did not trade in my crayons

All throughtout my school years I studied art what I was not taught in the class room I taught my self by going to the Library and reading books and putting what I have read into practice, I can remember there was a time I wanted to paint water so bad. But I just wasn't getting it right, so after wasting a lot of paint and a lot of canvas I just drop the paint and the canvas and went into the Library. I read every book I could find on how to paint water, because I just had to.

I  paint landscape because of my love of nature and have always wish to capture that moment of the sun setting or of the moon Coming up from the ocean. Most of my paintings are from places where I have been.

My paintings consist of landscape from three countries mainly Jamaica, England and United States. These three countries has impacted my life a great deal. My parents migrated to England when I was a child I was born in Jamaica three out of seven of my sidling were born in England. Painting the beautiful English landscape is something I enjoy doing.

River Bank is a lovely view of the Famous River Thyms in England.

 

Henry VIII is A wing of the Hampton Court Palace in England. That wing of the Palace is the Kings Quarters This has a magnificent view when you are inside looking out.

Palace Garden is also part of that series of paintings The Hampton Court Palace is surrounded with beautiful land scape a lovely garden.

 

Tropical Palm is one of my favored paintings. It is the beach in our home town in Jamaica The family always look for ward to winter because then its time to go there.

My collection of paintings is like a road map, They tell a story about the places I have been.
