We are open at Expo2020!  

After many many months of making plans, making art, making shipping crates, making ourselves crazy, the Grenada pavilion is open in Dubai today!

We hope to share pics with you soon, but in the mean time, meet the Artists!

Couldn't have done this without my colleague Asher Mains, and without the team on the ground in Dubai. Much appreciation to all who worked, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Business of Grenada.

Shanta Cox--you are a rock star!  Stay with us--more info to come.

Series 2020

Detail Series 2020 DanceDuring lockdown and quarantine and slow economy, (read slooooooowwwwww) I have been painting in the studio.

Series 2020 is about observations of us and our Caribbean culture being affected by the imposed separation required in these times.

My concern is that culture is passed in groups, and we are losing daily what is intrinsicly "us".

These are large works -- 9 ft by 12 ft, executed on raw canvas.
