I set up
Caribic Design in 1986 on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia to create
original Caribbean ceramics. In the past, visitors only had access to
products made in other countries. I use bright colors because they
reflect the environment of the islands. I was born in Guyana, and have
lived in England and Canada. I returned to St. Lucia for the sunshine
and a simpler life. I have always loved art. Ceramics started as my
hobby but now is a full scale business. One of my inspirations is my
belief in the Baha'i Faith.
Concerning arts and crafts, Baha'u'llah, the prophet-founder of the Baha'i
Faith writes that "In this Day the sun of craftsmanship shineth
above the horizon of the occident and the river of arts is flowing out
of the sea of that region." Baha'u'llah's teachings on the oneness
of God, of religion, and humanity continue to serve as an inspiration. |
