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

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