"My work
is based almost exclusively on the human figure. I empathize
easily with people and am very sensitive to their moods. The
human body conveys an enormous range of emotions, which is
reflected in the smallest gesture. My studies are from live
models, and at times, from memory."
Hilma Smith Barnes, was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1945. She
studied Art at the Jamaica School of Art, specializing in
Painting. Six months after graduating from Art School, she
married a Trinidadian and moved to Trinidad in January 1968.
Trinidad and Tobago's rich cultural heritage and the interesting
mixture of races found here, have influenced much of her work.
Her preferred media are acrylics, pastels, pencil and mixed
media.
