    I chose then to study architecture at The College of the Bahamas. I did, however, had the opportunity to speak with a few artists about art, such as Jackson Burnside, who was an architect and an artist, and he told me: "Do what you want to do and don't worry about money, it will come." So, I decided to major in painting. I finished my MFA in 2000 from Georgia State University, and started having shows that were very successful. I just decided that being an artist and doing art is something I am most passionate about, something I want to work on all the time.  less

    Bahamian artists featured in the documentary "Artists of the Bahamas" (2008) inspired the Waterloo Center for the Arts to feature them in an exhibition and symposium called, Master Artists of the Bahamas, opening on October 14, 2011, in Waterloo, Iowa (USA). This project mobilized the Bahamian art community as well: The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas; the Embassy of the Bahamas in the US; the Bahamian Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture; and of course the artists themselves got involved in making the exhibition and the symposium possible. "The Bahamas has been a significant contributor to the whole project, and they are excited to be able to show their master artists in the United States," says Cammie Scully, director of the Waterloo Center for the Arts.  less
