I was born in Jamaica, and studied at the Jamaica School of Art in Kingston. Later I went to Pratt Institute of Art and Design. I graduated with a MFA, with Honors, in Ceramics and Sculpture. My work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and has received several commissions and awards. I currently live and work in New York.
