View Complete Biography below gallery.


Born in Jamaica and educated in the United States, this self taught artist has developed a distinctive painting style that combines refined drawing lines with oil and oil pastels to present figures in abstract.  Influenced by his travels, his subject matters relate to everyday people and events. Each painting tells its own story, sometimes multiple stories, when viewed carefully.  His evocative imagery often exudes seduction with an urban edge.  A custom designed, hand-made frame, (created by the artist), compliments each painting.   

He is also known for his eclectic furniture design.  He combines artwork with unique functional sculptured wood pieces.   His use of exotic woods with natural designs enhances his work.

His return to Jamaica was to focus on mastering his art.  He has had several successful showings at historic Harmony Hall in Ocho Rios and Pegasus Gallery in Kingston, Jamaica.
