I am honored to have my contribution to the @forfreedoms 2020 Awakening Campaign live on my island home.

This campaign brings long overdue attention back to the islands and engages them as equal members.

Descent of the Abiku at the Corridors Gallery
2001
Inspired by a dream, these paintings are part of a series of mildly abstracted pieces that present the future, not in the chronological sense, but rather in a sense of the possibilities. Each painting is a raw expression of life and love giving rise to a sense of the fantastic within the ordinary.
