Thank you for exploring art — I love it too. My interest begins with literature, my love of imagery and how words can create other worlds. From this comes a passion for the visual arts that really started with my first trip to Paris as a teenager. I was so overwhelmed by a Giacometti sculpture that I almost fell backwards down the escalator!

The dream of owning a gallery goes back to my 20s in Montreal, following the art scene from museum to gallery to alternative hangouts. The brand Black Pony dropped out of a book, and I have kept it in my pocket ever since. It’s a symbol of adventure, freedom, energetic expression. I designed the logo, an original silkscreen, thanks to the help of an artist friend (and the public domain).

​Presently, Black Pony Gallery is an online entity, which allows me to reach a global audience. I feature emerging to established artists from the Azores, Bermuda, Cayman, Cuba, The Bahamas, and Turks & Caicos. The catalogue of contemporary artwork offers a diverse range of expressions, mediums, and price points.

I’m interested in the narrative of the Atlantic corridor, of the space where my ancestors crossed very different paths from West Africa and Europe. The writer in me enjoys how the artwork I feature begins to tell its own story, of people, places, tensions, and triumphs. It’s a contemporary narrative built on centuries of complex exchange.

I started the Atlantic World Art Fair in the murky depths of 2020 when cultural revenue was reaching an all-time low in our region. The Fair has grown from 9 to 12 gallery partners and will continue to evolve in 2023. For each iteration we present an online program of panel discussions, critical commentary and artist talks that are archived on YouTube.

It is always a good idea to buy art, especially as the Caribbean mid-Atlantic region is receiving greater attention. This moment of transition likely represents one of the best times to make an investment.

​Thanks to your interest, more contemporary artists from the Caribbean mid-Atlantic will be recognized, collected, and featured in international exhibitions and creative projects. Please enjoy!
