Maureen Ottier began her career at the Imperial College of
Tropical Agriculture in her native Trinidad, as a scientific
illustrator. She is an award winning artist who has participated
in numerous joint and mixed exhibitions. An enduring love for
nature and the outdoors keeps her actively involved with the
Trinidad Field Naturalist` Club, which affords her opportunities
for working in remote and unspoiled areas of her country. Maureen
lives far up one of the many lovely valleys of Northwestern
Trinidad, surrounded by the garden of fruit trees, plants and
birds which inspire much of her work.
Maureen's work can be seen at all major galleries in Trinidad. Her
most recent exhibition was held at Art Creators Gallery in 1999.
She is currently preparing a new collection for showing in October
2002.
A
versatile artist, she is equally at home in a variety of media.
She has been muralist, art teacher, owner of an art supply company
and gallery, and does commissioned work.
Examples of her work are to be found in "Insect Life in the
Tropics" T.W. Kirkpatrick; Children's Folklore Murals at the Port
of Spain General Hospital; corporate and private collections in
Trinidad & Tobago; and private collections in Canada, USA,
Switzerland, Japan and other islands of the Caribbean
