I had the pleasure of being asked to exhibit some of my paintings at this years 'Portland Road Arts Festival', and what an honour it was!
Above is one of my 'star' feature for the evening. Over 80% of the guests had nothing but praise for this painting, simple called 'Pan Women'. It was inspired by my experiences over the years in Trinidad for the carnival season. I believe there is nothing sweeter than the sound of the 'pan' at carnival time. Its a painting I can adapt for the individual to suit their needs by the use of vibrant colours or elaborate textures. The amount of people who attended suited the venue and it meant I could tell my story on how my ideas came about for each piece.
I walked away from the experience with words such as 'Beautiful', 'Inspiring', 'Innovative', 'Versatile', 'Diverse', and 'Vibrant', buzzing in my head. Little do these guests realise they have triggered more creations for the future. I just hope there is enough hours in the day and night to create them all.
A special thanks goes out to 'Heather' at Treasures, Portland Road, South Norwood, for giving me this opportunity. I will also go further to thank all who came on Friday evening - family, friends, and the general public as your support was greatly appreciated. If I didn't know then I know now that I am blessed with a talent which needs to be shared with others.
Remember they are ALL for sale, and can be viewed at Treasures for one week only. Failing this please feel free to contact me in person for commissioned pieces.
God Bless, Kulturess xxxx
