Born on the island in 1928, he began painting in 1950 and quickly gained a reputation as a talented self-taught artist. Most of his work is based on historical and biblical events, and his paintings can be seen in many international galleries and private collections, including the private collection of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England. Success has not tainted the artist s innate island friendliness, and visitors are welcome to stop by his home studio at 8 Scotland Lane off Goodwill Road, north of the river in Roseau.
