Trinidad & Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago visual artist, Tavernelle Wells, employs a unique, organized style of diagonally weaving brushstrokes to create depth and layers of meaning. This intricate texture blends her once-corporate existence with her creative practice. Her paintings are her visual journal capturing her creative journey. Each engages the viewer to consider a contemplative life. Tavernelle was a finalist at the 2012 Embracing Our Differences Exhibition in Sarasota, FL, United States. She participated in the 2019 CARIFESTA XIV (Caribbean Regional Arts Festival) in the Lived In Exhibition in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. She also represented her country in 2022 at the 9th Beijing International Art Biennale hosted at the National Art Museum of China.
