I have been lucky enough to dedicate a few years to making art full-time and to develop as a full-fledged artist. Thanks to this, my work, especially in ceramic sculpture and printmaking, has made real strides. I have had shows in museums as well as in important art galleries, which for me marks the making of an artist. I feel that now is a time to go back to the classroom and, with my MFA, continue with my art teaching at a higher level. Whatever I do, however, my experiences of growing up poor in the Caribbean and of immigration to this country as a teenager will always shape my work as an artist and, I think, remind me, from the inside, what the word “diversity” really means.
