I’m a Jamaican graphic artist and advertising specialist. having been trained in New York. By doing my own research and studying other fine artists, my art evolved into a kind of abstract expressionistic style, Much of my work follows the dictates of the sub-conscious. Gradually revealing shapes and forms, colors are added instinctively, then layered over, scratched, re-drawn, collage images are sometimes added, covered, scraped. Slowly forms emerge, rendering them visible by adding lines, compartments; geometric lines are included. Destruction is also an integral part of the process, that adds a new dimension. Equally valid are impulses and accidents that start a new direction, a new synthesis as polymorphic forms emerge. Sometimes the process to a finished work can take years.
