D.o.B.: April 16, 1953

I grew up in the Hills of Laventille "Behind the Bridge" and attended Eastern Boys Government School, St George's College and John Donaldson Technical Institute.

I have always had an artistic attitude from primary days at Eastern Boys Government  School.  I began drawing from comic books such as "Kid Colt" etc, trying to compete with my fellow classmate, Gideon, who has since migrated.

After being successful at Common Entrance I was admitted to St. George's College, which unfortunately did not possess ART on its curriculum.  Due to this, on my exit from college, I attended Extra-Mural Classes under the astute tutorship of one of Trinidad & Tobago's finest artist: Mr. Sonnilal Rambissoon whose work is exhibited at the National Museum.

My first exhibition was in 2010 at "Ainsley's", Long Circular Mall, St. James.

My special interest is devoted to the human figure and portraits.  At times I delve in Abstracts, Landscapes and Historic Buildings. My preferred medium is oil.
