Adrian Camps-Campins has spent the last twenty-five years
digging into Trinidad and Tobago’s past, turning the results
into a series of bold, original acrylic paintings, executed in
the naïve-style. These are then made into greeting cards
with accompanying photographs, maps and texts. Two of
his paintings have been made into postage stamps: the
first depicting the visit of Christopher Columbus in 1498,
and one of the most recent, The University of Woodford
Square showing Dr. Eric Williams addressing a public rally.
He has exhibited at the Meridian International Center in
Washington and at the Salon of Le Grand Palais in Paris. In
1993, one of his designs was selected for use as a UNICEF
card—the first from a native of Trinidad.
A Note from Danielle:
I have been creating
since my childhood. For
the last ten years I have
been painting every day. I
devote my spare time to
art, painting and traveling.
I do work part-time as an
elementary teacher. The
Caribbean landscape is a
great motivator for me. The
bright colours, the vibrant
music etc. The driving
force for my painting is
primarily that it has a very
calming effect on my rather
restless personality. I am
primarily inspired, by the
impressionists. I admire the
vibrant paintings that they
were able to create.

Considered one of T&T’s finest contemporary artists, LeRoy
Clarke was the first to be to be conferred the title Master
Artist by the National Museum and Art Gallery of T&T,
amongst many other national awards. Holder of prestigious
community awards, his crowning event was the award of
a “Staff of Eldership” and Chieftaincy Title in the Orisha
community. Proficient writer and artist, his prowess as a
visual artist grew from a compunction to “see and to go
deeper than surfaces allowed.” He continues to draw on the
worldview he has developed living at home and in the U.S.
