Rolrick Donovan is a self-taught artist whose passion for art is surpassed only by his passion for life. As a teenager, Rolrick studied arts in school, however, acknowledgement of Barbados’ artistic reality forced him to redirect his energies towards graphic design in 1976. Graphic Design consumed Rolrick’s life for some 30-plus years before a chance viewing of a video about artist, Bob Ross, reignited the spark for fine art, which had laid dormant. That spark turned into a full blown fire as Rolrick turned his attention to painting some10 years ago. He steadily honed his skill and knowledge through practice and online tutorials.
With oils as his medium, Rolrick indulges his love of nature by focusing primari-ly on landscapes, experimenting with fusions of North American scenery and traditional ‘Bajan’ images. Email: rollythefox@gmail.com

As early as she can recall, June Gebon-Jones has had a love and apprecia-tion for art. As a secondary school student, June honed her artistic ability working with water colours, however, in acknowledgement of the reality at the time that art was not a career path, June turned to a career in the airline industry and then the financial sector, forsaking art.
