VISION STATEMENT
“I have travelled so many paths that my mind simply overflows when I settle to express myself. I find myself writing poetry and journals, painting and designing to communicate how proud I am of my fellow Jamaican – the the achievements when we focus in achieving our potential.
I have travelled far and wide and concluded that above all Jamaica, its art, people, culture is exciting, impacting, unique -outstanding, and I live to communicate the wonders of it all to the universe. I use oils, charcoal, pastels, acrylics on canvas or boards and paper, my camera. I admire creativity and exceptional ‘out-of-the-ordinary expressions — that inspires me.”

I sign as Anthea McGibbon, Thea Mac or ADAM at times
