Tomley Roberts<br />
48 Mount Pleasant Local Road, Mount Pleasant, <strong>Tobago</strong><br />

Against a backdrop <strong>of</strong> rich West Indian culture, tinged with<br />
an essence <strong>of</strong> European history, Tomley Roberts captivates<br />
his viewer in a vivid display <strong>of</strong> colour <strong>and</strong> form as he brings<br />
to life the historical heritage <strong>of</strong> his people <strong>and</strong> his homel<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Tobago</strong>. His “resurrections” awakened on canvas, bridge<br />
the gap between then <strong>and</strong> now, past <strong>and</strong> present; heritage<br />
experiences rebirth in fresh tantalising hues. The legacy <strong>of</strong> a<br />
people’s reality, their way <strong>of</strong> life, is reincarnated in detailed<br />
impasto <strong>and</strong> dramatic colour. Roberts continues tutoring<br />
at Speyside High School <strong>and</strong> paints passionately from his<br />
studio in <strong>Tobago</strong>.<br />

Karen is a self-taught artist with some formal training. “I was<br />
born with a paint brush in my h<strong>and</strong>,” she says. Her successful<br />
participation in a number <strong>of</strong> joint exhibitions has encouraged<br />
her to follow her dream <strong>of</strong> being a full-time artist. Karen works<br />
mainly in acrylic <strong>and</strong> paints local scenery, houses, people,<br />
flora etc. She especially enjoys doing work by commission.<br />
That way, she knows that the piece she is working on means<br />
something special to someone.<br />
