Jacqueline C. Prudent Guzman
Even when I was a child I found myself
appreciating every form of art, it could have been trees swaying
in the breeze or just an old broken down chair, and I have found
that these artistic endeavours have followed me through to
today.
At the age of
13, I studied art under Mrs. Freda Artman a well established
artist in Trinidad. For the next 6 years, I learned the basics
of drawing and painting and became familiar with styles of vivid
colouration and ways to explore the world around me; and was
influenced by some of Trinidad’s renowned artists, such as
Jackie Hinkson, Cazabon, Sundiata and Boscoe Holder.
In May 1998 I
received a degree in Physical Therapy from Lynn University (Boca
Raton), and currently I am pursuing a degree in Psychology.
Needless to say art has been my primary interest.
My work has
been a combination of personal experiences, techniques of modern
manner, primitivism and simplified drawings with flattered
effects and bold colours which are very visual and stunning.
Painting gives
me a purpose to create, which is an unending challenge. |
