  • I create original Caribbean fine art and offer bespoke commission services for collectors, homeowners, developers, and corporate clients.

    Private Commissions
    Custom paintings tailored to your space, story, and aesthetic. From intimate 16” × 20” works to large-scale statement pieces, each commission is developed through direct consultation to ensure the artwork reflects your vision while maintaining my signature style.

    Residential & Interior Design Collaborations
    I collaborate with homeowners, architects, and interior designers to create artwork that integrates seamlessly into curated spaces. Whether for luxury residences, boutique villas, resort-style homes, or contemporary apartments, I consider scale, palette, lighting, and architectural flow.

    Corporate & Hospitality Art
    Custom artwork for offices, hotels, restaurants, and commercial environments seeking authentic Caribbean identity. My work enhances branded spaces while offering collectors culturally rooted, investment-quality pieces.

    Gallery & Exhibition Works
    Original paintings are also available through exhibitions and directly from my studio.

    Each piece is created using professional-grade materials and designed to last for generations.

  • Getting started is simple.

    Begin by exploring my available works and portfolio to identify subjects, colour palettes, or series that resonate with you. Whether you’re drawn to market scenes, seascapes, landscapes, or cultural narratives, this helps shape the direction of your commission.

    Next, reach out directly through my contact page or email with:

    • Your preferred size

    • The intended space (home, office, hospitality, etc.)

    • Any reference images or inspiration

    • Your timeline and location

    From there, we’ll discuss concept, scale, colour harmony, and placement to ensure the artwork integrates beautifully into your environment.

    Once the concept is confirmed, I provide a proposal outlining size, pricing, timeline, and process. A deposit secures your commission, and the creative journey begins.

    Every commissioned piece is developed collaboratively while preserving the integrity of my artistic style — resulting in a work that feels both personal and timeless.

  • For me, art is never just about an image — it’s about connection.

    I genuinely enjoy working with people. Understanding their space, their story, and the feeling they want to live with is part of the process. Collecting art should feel personal, not transactional.

    I’m also constantly learning — refining technique, studying light, and exploring Caribbean identity in contemporary spaces. My years as a musician deeply influence my work. I often paint to music, allowing rhythm and movement to shape the brushstrokes, creating energy, flow, and emotion within each piece.

    The result is work that feels alive — rooted in place, guided by rhythm, and created through collaboration.

  • The best way to start is simply to reach out.

    Send me a message through my contact page or email me directly. Tell me what caught your attention — a specific painting, a colour palette, a memory, or even just a feeling you’d like to capture. You don’t need to have everything figured out. That’s what the conversation is for.

    If you’re local, we can arrange a studio visit. If you’re overseas, we can connect virtually and walk through ideas together. I’m always happy to talk through scale, placement, inspiration, or just explore possibilities.

    Art begins with a conversation.

    Let’s start there.

  • Each artwork is priced based on size, complexity, and level of detail.

    For commissions, I typically use a price-per-square-inch model as a foundational structure. This ensures fairness and consistency across different sizes. From there, the final quotation reflects:

    • Subject complexity

    • Level of detail and layering

    • Custom research or reference development

    • Timeline requirements

    • Installation or shipping needs (if applicable)

    Larger works require more material, studio time, and compositional planning, while intricate pieces with high detail or multiple figures may adjust the rate accordingly.

    After our initial discussion, I provide a formal quotation outlining size, investment, timeline, and payment structure. A deposit secures your place in my schedule, with the balance due upon completion.

    My goal is transparency, clarity, and creating a piece that feels both valuable and lasting.

  • I’m easygoing, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the process.

    Working together should feel relaxed and enjoyable — not formal or intimidating. I take time to listen, understand your space, and explore what you’re hoping to feel when you live with the artwork.

    Whether you have a fully formed vision or just a loose idea, I guide the process clearly and thoughtfully. I communicate openly, respect timelines, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.

    Most of all, I look forward to the connection. Bringing a vision to life — together — is the most rewarding part of what I do.
