‘my work encompasses and explores the many recesses of life’s darkest experiences. I feel that there are sociological structures within the Caribbean that are receptors of a lot of uncharted emotions. This I think is a culminated result of years of suppression and repression by its people.’

‘I strive to expose glimpses of hope beneath the darkness; I feel it will always be present regardless of the melancholy and loss’(quotes from article in ARC by Marsha Pearce)
