From 1986 to 1988, she attended the Massachusetts
College of Art and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree and with
honours receiving the Marguerite Guilfoyle Fund Award. On completion of
her degree she returned to Trinidad where she continued her career in art
holding her first solo exhibition in 1990 under the sponsorship of Scotia
Bank, Trinidad. Since then she has held many solo and group exhibitions
both in Trinidad and abroad. Her artistic subject matter is drawn from the
world about her and she prefers to work from the motif on the spot. Her
journey is a solitary one. Being accustomed to working alone, she
continues to enjoy a private discourse with her work.
