He studied the Gullah community of the Sea Islands off the coast of Georgia and the Carolinas, and its flourishing culture and preserved heritage, despite a history of slavery, became his muse. He continued on to paint in Jamaica and Cuba, then spent two years in Haiti, where he taught at Le Centre d'Art in Port-au-Prince. - INDIVIDUAL ITEM RRP £1.99
