Isla Antigua

Isla Antigua (Old Island) is an ongoing project chronicling the people and traditions of my home that have formed my views as an artist. Many of my projects have started here and cover a range of styles.

This island is changing, it's a simple, indisputable fact. All you have to do is walk down the street to view the sanitary recreation of our island culture.

But I’ll let you in on a little secret, it’s always changing and there ‘s still magic here. Always has been, always will be.

The House on Stilts

The House on Stilts

Every island artist has to tackle the iconic House on Stilts at some point in their career. This is my take, a recreation of the fire that brought it down.
